After months of online hype, The Aquabats officially announced "Charge!!" on their website on April 1, 2005, unveiling the album's title, artwork, track listing, release date and corresponding tour, all of which had been kept secret until then. The band also released a free digital download of "Charge!!"s lead single, "Fashion Zombies!", offering a contest that whoever could get their local radio station to play the song would win an all expenses paid dinner with The Aquabats. The prize was claimed after a fan got the song airtime on Los Angeles' KROQ-FM and was taken to a T.G.I. Friday's.
