Zeebratta

Background

For the last 30 years, Score has been working on the album's songs. He had shelved his compositions that were not the band's style, and had enough for a solo album. Score had originally planned to release the solo album once the other members had left. When they were gone, however, A Flock of Seagulls were still in popular demand for live shows, so Score hired musicians for a new lineup. This new lineup recorded an album in 1995 entitled The Light at the End of the World, which flopped commercially. Even so, the band was still popular with fans, so Score continued to tour with the band, leaving little time for recording.

In the late 2000s, Score gained more time to work on the album, and worked vigorously. By February 2013, he released the single "All I Wanna Do" (originally recorded in the mid 2000s for the compilation album Trackspotting V), and announced that his album was coming soon. The release date was postponed, however, when Score's van was stolen in July. The van contained equipment and clothing, as well as the hard drives storing the tracks for Score's album. Fortunately, Score was able to work with music files from his home in Florida, and used them for his album.

In January 2014, Score released a second single entitled "Somebody Like You". On January 29, he revealed that the album would be released on March 1, via broadwayworld.com. Score's website and Twitter account made it official on February 20. Zeebratta was officially released on March 1, 2014 (it was released to iTunes on March 3 due to a technical error).
