Under Influence is the only album of new wave band Zones, released by Arista Records on June 1, 1979.[2] The album contains songs of multiple genres, being very far from the early punkier stuff, like in the case of 7" single "Stuck with You". Jim Green of Trousser Press distinguished or tried to define it as "pop? Hard stuff? Commercial new wave? Reggae-pop?".[3]

Although the album has the new wave sound, it was unsuccessful at the time of its release. Shortly afterwards, Zones released a 7" single called "Mourning Star",[4] whose eponymous song (a shorter version of the album song) was backed with "Under Influence", which did not appear on the album, despite the name being the same. At the end of 1979, and after years of failures, the group split up.
