There's a fair chance you haven't heard of Yacøpsæ before unless you're very much in tune with DIY grind/powerviolence. One of the things we started this podcast to do was to shine a light on great bands were think are truly unsung. This band are one such example of that.

They're very underground, and are very, very, very brutal. In part one we talk about the squat scene, the definition of grindcore, how it differs from powerviolence and dive into their large, unwieldy catalogue.

And in part two we get really grindy and real with the band's more recent material, which is very fast, brutal and dark. It's a bracing but also fun. This band have a lot of songs but it's all quite short, so you can really batter through their discography in short order.

Joe also gives us some of his thoughts on the band and then we get to the nexus.

As this is a genre we're mostly unfamiliar with, we brought in the expertise of Joe McGlynn, who you may remember from our Carcass episodes. He was in a band called Man Must Die, now in a cool hardcore band called Go Down Fighting, and is a host of Shit You May Not Have Seen podcast. Things get very weegie here too, so be prepared for some incomprehensible Glaswegian accents.
