Zébulon was formed in 1993 in Montreal by singer-bassist Marc Déry,[1] guitarist Yves Déry, keyboardist Yves Marchand and drummer Alain Quirion. Marc and Yves are brothers.[2]

The band released its first self-titled album in 1994. Their song "Job Steady" received radio play, and they also release singles "Les femmes préfèrent les Ginos" and "Adrénaline".[3] In 1997, they won group of the year honours at Quebec's Felix Awards.[4]
