About us


HISTORY

Zombie xtras originally formed in October 2002 comprising 4 friends Lee Foster (Vocals), Craig Bate (Guitars), Carl Westwood (Bass) and Alan Frost (Drums). Following many gigs and becoming semi finalists in the West Midlands Battle of the Bands Competition, Carl left the band for personal reasons. Carl was replaced by Rich Sewell, ex Idlerage Guitarist & Vocalist and has remained a power house on the Bass ever since and has added an extra dimension in the song writing department. In November 2007 Craig made his fairwell appearance on stage at JBs Dudley and has since been replaced by friend of the band, John Osborne on Guitar.
