The Zombies are an emblematic rock band from the 1960s hailing from St Albans, England, known for fusing melancholic melodies with sophisticated pop arrangements, thereby becoming trailblazers of the burgeoning psychedelic pop scene. The group was formed in 1962 by Rod Argent (keyboards, vocals), Colin Blunstone (lead vocals), Paul Atkinson (guitar, vocals), Chris White (bass, vocals), and Hugh Grundy (drums). They garnered acclaim with their 1964 hit "She's Not There," a record that displayed their knack for jazz-inflected rock and insightful lyricism. Further international attention came with the classic song "Time of the Season," which was featured on their critically lauded album "Odessey and Oracle" (1968).

Despite disbanding shortly after the release of "Odessey and Oracle," The Zombies' reputation grew over the years, influencing a variety of musicians and earning them a dedicated global cult following. A rich vein of reissues and live performances emerged as interest in their music resurged, leading to an eventual reformation. Even in the 21st century, they continued to capture audiences old and new with their refined sound. Their most recent releases, such as "Different Game" (with a deluxe edition) and live versions like "Dropped Reeling & Stupid," as well as innovative remix works like "Time of the Season (Chelsea FC & Harvey Gunn Remix)," attest to their unwavering relevance in the evolving music landscape. The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, cementing their legacy as one of rock history's most enduring and influential bands.
