Recording

edit

¥eah ¥eah ¥eah No was recorded live at the Wisseloord Studios. For the second time Rebel went into the studio with the power trio Jett Rebel 3, this time with drummer Willem van der Krabben and bassist Xander Vrienten. This is also the 2nd time Rebel chooses not to do everything on his own, just like in 2016 when recording the album Don't Die On Me Now. "Everything you hear on the record sounds exactly as it should be, Rebel says to music news from the UK".[2] For this EP there are 3 extra tracks played live but in the end they didn't make it to the EP. Tracks: Lady On The Hill, Bleed Me An Ocean and Slowdancer. These tracks are regularly played live during performances at festivals or a tour. Something he does more often during his live shows, performing unreleased work.

One take, not a post-production, just like he recorded his tracks".[3]

Reception

edit

The English media has paid particular attention to the ¥eah ¥eah ¥eah No EP. The reviews were positive. RT Lee in review for Subba-Cultcha: With ‘Waiting for the Weekend’ Jett Rebel is serving up a perfect slice of 50s rock ‘n’ roll infused punk-pop. It’s big, it's sexy and it's glamorous. A guaranteed, solid-gold earworm of a single, ‘Waiting for the Weekend’ shouts open road, top down, summer-time fun – play & repeat. Jett Rebel lives, eats and breathes music, having played 250 festivals and 7 sold-out club tours so far.[4]
