In 2012 on the legendary Wutzrock Festival in Hamburg Charles from ZZZ HACKER (well-known german punk band since 1980 from bielefeld) met the members from YACÖPSAE, both bands planning to release a split shirt together in the future.
A few beers later, the split shirt idea was changed into a Split EP but with the sick particularity: “You play something from us; we have a few numbers of you”. Sooner said than done (well, almost immediately), with the peculiarity that to this day both bands had no knowledge of what the other now so dovetailed. To the amusement of the producer and the label, now we have the product ready, you will find three tracks of each band!

The 5 tracks demo from 87 available first time on vinyl, artwork almost finished, soon we present more details from the traditional old school design, here is the EP artwork for the limited DIE HARD Edition.

Almost 25 years of YACØPSÆ … Time for a tribute? Not at all! The band still like the AMEBIX slogan: “No gods, no masters”! Nevertheless, YACØPSÆ was always well-known for brewing out some freaky ideas (just check their huge output and you’ll know what we mean), so the concept of a “Guest room” EP was born, whilst we were hanging around somewhere and joking about how to celebrate the “next” anniversary! Actually, no big deal …
Eventually, the band invited a bunch of different people from around the globe to “sing” for them. 15 tracks, each one lasting about 30 seconds, and placed twice (subdivided in two sides: male/ female). All participants had to create own lyrics and to record the vocals by their own. In addition, each person needed to write down a few neutral sentences about the very first encounter with YACØPSÆ, and sending a photo. Basically, the whole idea is not that new or original, though the list of our guests is impressive, so here we go:

Additionally, a bunch of 45 kids in the age between 3 and 5 years is singing “Brother Jakob” in five different speeches (German, English, French, Turkish, and Spanish). Think about where we got our name from, eh? Stoffel went to a friend’s kindergarten to organize the huge choir of cute and awesome kids, and to record the tracks, exclusively. The stuff will be used as intro, midtro and outro.
