Zooparty Discography of CDs

Zooparty CD discography "Swedens finest""Sweden continues to deliever great bands: Hellacopters, Hives and now Zooparty"."Great punk-pop songs!"The reviews of Zoopartys three song debut-EP has been great. A debut that makes a statement that Zooparty is here, they plan to stay and they mean business. Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols has produced the tracks, and plays guitar on them as well.
