Penguins in Bondage: The YSU Frank Zappa Ensemble is an eleven-piece group from Youngstown State University comprised of undergrads and graduate students performing the music of Frank Zappa.

Penguins in Bondage: The YSU Frank Zappa Ensemble have been recently featured in an article in both The Vindicator as well as Jambar, The Youngstate State University newspaper.

The group has also received criticism from alumni of Zappa's group:

"Great to hear from you. Yes, I listened to the performance that you sent, and I found it to be brilliantly executed. You guy's are really good. And you play the music really well."
Napoleon Murphy Brock (vocals and sax)

"Sounds like fun. I hear some reharmonization going on in there and perhaps a slight phase 90 nod to EVH."
Dweezil Zappa (son - Zappa Plays Zappa)
