The Zatopeks are as unique and individually defined as any band could be. Their sound can be described as a conglomeration of pop, punk, rock’n'roll, folk and doo-wop, but even that wouldn’t do its eccentricity justice. Their songs are stories of life when looked at just a little bit closer, with a good sense of wonder and appreciation for every detail, no matter how small… But rather than trying to classify and categorized the music of the Z-boys, you’d be much better served by simply dropping that needle on the record and putting your dancing shoes on. Because nobody brings a party like the Zatopeks do! Easily the best band to come out of the UK this decade.

This record is comprised of all acoustic takes of punk rock songs - one old and one new from each band. It’s not emo. It’s not “sensitive”. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not. It’s about stripping down the rock n roll even further than just four chords, crappy amps and a shitty mic - which is what makes punk rock punk rock. It’s about sitting around with your buddies jamming out some tunes in your basement, bedroom or on your front porch. The Copyrights’ tracks are what writing songs is all about: a couple of acoustic guitars, a basic drum set (just enough to keep a beat) and a couple of voices. Whistling takes the place of what will one day become a guitar lead. Handclaps to fill the space later to be occupied by drum fills and bass lines. Great vocals and solid song structure shine through even more when there‘s less to hide behind. The Zatopeks’ tracks are all about having fun with what you have around. If you don’t have all the fancy amps with effects and distortion or the full drum set, improvise! These guys have incorporated all kinds of shit (including the kitchen sink!) into their songs. If it makes noise, the Zatopeks used it on these recordings. At the heart of it all though is simply great song writing, period.
