ZEKE is a hardcore punk band from Tacoma, Washington. They are known for their extremely high-powered, driving guitar sound, mixed with blues-rock influences and are therefore sometimes compared to Motörhead.

They are currently signed to Relapse Records.

The song "Death Alley" was on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, the song "Long Train Runnin'" appeared on Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and "Kill the King" recently appeared on Tony Hawk's Project 8. ZEKE recently appeared on Project Gotham Racing Xbox 360 soundtrack.
