Our Covers EP was another one off/concept EP. Because of the pandemic we never really got to promote it live. The fact that none of the songs are our own, definitely doesn’t help make this release feel “standard”! 4 covers of proto punk bands, the generation of bands that we grew up on, grew up on these bands. These particular songs spoke to us despite the fact that none of us were born when they came out. 3 of 4 songs appeared to be in our favorite key C#m, not a coincidence perhaps?

Recorded by Emiel Thoonen and Menno Bakker (who also played Hammond), artwork by Andy Dahlström of Satanic Surfers. Fun fact: Spotify didn’t accept the “stolen” Iggy artwork, so the digital artwork is different compared to the vinyl and tape release. We also “covered” 2 of the original music videos!

Which track is your favorite? Should we play these tracks live at Friends First Fest one more time to give them the live representation they deserve?

The vinyl and tape versions of the Covers EP have sold out, but you can still stream the EP!

Have you checked our latest single HALL OF MIRRORS? Recorded at Big Dog Recordings where we also did an interview about the Pizza Session and Tim van Doorn’s 10th birthday! Wait, that can’t be right, maybe in dog years?!

Check the song, check the interview:

In between full length albums we like releasing concept EPs. Either with covers, in Dutch, or acoustically like the Pull The Plug EP. Very experimental for us in 2009. Benefit of the Doubt and Because We Can were previously released as normal versions, while these were the first (and only acoustic) appearances of The New Jew and The Hunt Is On, later featured as amplified songs on “Start from Scratch!”.

It was recorded with Nico of XPZ Sound in our rehearsal space of that time: Willem’s parents’ place. Yvo plays acoustic guitar in stead of bass, Riekus on (mellow) drums. It was released May 3 by our friends from Shield Recordings, No Reason Records and Sums Records. The original 3-way PINK artwork by Gijs van Amelsvoort; 200 PINK EPs, 300 black. A couple of years later we “re-released” 40 copies of the EP with mixed colored covers.

Belated apologies for dropping the bomb that we were “Pulling the plug” as a band on April 1st, 2009 when announcing this EP as an April Fools joke…
