Red Zebra is a Belgian new wave band that emerged during the post-punk era, bringing distinctive synth-driven soundscapes and angular guitar work to the European electronic music scene. The group carved out a unique niche within new wave by blending electronic instrumentation with the raw energy of punk, creating a sound that resonated with both alternative and dance music audiences of their time.
The band's contribution to electronic music lies in their innovative approach to synthesizer-based arrangements and their influence on the broader new wave movement across Europe. Red Zebra's exploration of electronic textures within a rock framework helped bridge the gap between punk's DIY ethos and the emerging synth-pop and electronic dance movements of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
