Remember when we did a merch design poll with 2 designs; a cheetah vs a mural from one of our favorite bars? The Bijstand mural design was favored by most, so now you can pre-order a SHIRT, CREWNECK or ZIPPER with an album of choice! We have all items in 3 color options (black/navy/burgundy) and a wide range of sizes available for pre-order only! Pre-orders are up until Sunday Feb 27, orders will be sent out at the beginning of April.

Unfortunately our financial reserves have vanished during the pandemic, this is the ultimate way to support us. Thank you for helping us out this way; it means the world to us, and makes new recordings possible(!)

There’s a new episode of the deconstruction of I Wrote This Song! Episode 3 contains a first attempt at vocals, real drums and adjusting the tempo, and an analysis of structural updates. It’s so much fun ripping apart old songs!

Below you can check the full acoustic cover of Propagandhi’s Less Talk More Rock by Willem and The Punk Cellist! During the pandemic Unscripted Moments (a podcast about Propagandhi) asked Willem to join them on 3 episodes. For those he recorded acoustic covers of Less Talk More Rock and Mate Ka Moris with The Punk Cellist, and he recorded vocals to Propagandhi’s instrumental track Contest Song with lyrics by Matt Milkowski. Find all 3 songs in this playlist!

Because we received such enthusiastic feedback, here’s the second episode of our series DECONSTRUCTING I WROTE THIS SONG! In this ep we’re analyzing the structure of the song, individual parts and connecting them, parts we eventually rearranged or left out completely and a confession about working titles.
Any insights you’d like to learn in future episodes?

As promised, another pandemic project: the deconstruction of one of our songs! I Wrote This Song is the song we worked on the most, we did like 60(!) demo versions, it only made sense to start with this one. In this first episode you’ll hear the track that inspired us, the individual riffs that led to the writing of the track, riffs we didn’t use and how we record ideas and turn them into demos. Find the first episode below, more to follow!
