⭐ 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘 of 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's "𝐁𝟑 𝐄𝐏" ⭐

🎉 Today we celebrate the ⭐ 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘 of 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's "𝐁𝟑 𝐄𝐏" ⭐, which was released three days later than originally announced, on October 15, 2012.

The "𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷", was produced by 𝑨𝒅𝒂𝒎 𝑵𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒅 𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍 and 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐; consists of five tracks, two new songs ("𝑩𝟑", "𝑰.𝑲.𝑾.𝒀.𝑳"), two unreleased songs that were recorded in the sessions of the previous album "𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏" ("𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂", "𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑰𝒔 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚") and finally, "𝑰 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑", the cover of the 90s band 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒙𝒖𝒔.

On May 31, 2012, the band announced on their website that after taking a well-deserved break, they had returned to the studio to record new music.

And so it was, the following month 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 premiered "𝑰 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑" a cover version of the band 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒙𝒖𝒔, in four of the five concerts of the mini tour "𝑨 𝑹𝑶𝑪𝑲 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔", which are to date the only times the band has played this song live.

Then, on July 28, 2012 at the 𝑳𝒐𝒘 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑭𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 in 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒎, 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏, almost at the end of the show, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 paused to premiere their brand new song, which he introduced speaking in 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉, saying more or less like this:


✨🎤 "𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔, 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔… 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆, 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕… 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈, 𝒇**𝒌 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒉!! 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝑩𝟑" 🎶✨

🎙️"We reconvened in the summer of 2012 ostensibly to record a new single as we had just signed a new record deal. That single morphed into the five-track B3 EP which we released in the autumn to placate the more militant factions of our fanbase."

🎙️"[...] At the time we got in the studio to record one and only single, just one song. Then we thought fans would like to hear more, that's where the idea of the EP came from. While we were in the studio recording "B3", the idea of working on a full album insidiously came in our minds. Spontaneously, we were already writing Loud Like Love."

The cover photo of both the CD and the limited edition clear vinyl is very special, as the boy kissing the glass and behind those clouds of steam is none other than 𝑪𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐. The photographs were taken by his mother, the photographer 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒈. On the other hand, the internal images of the sky were taken by 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐 and the design was done by 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒚 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒌. Along with the release of the "𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷", 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 launched the "#𝑩𝟑𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏" 💋 where fans had to recreate the cover to win a framed test print of the "𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷" cover picture signed by 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏, 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 and 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕. The winner was chosen by the band members themselves.

✨ On the occasion of 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒚 on April 20, 2013, a limited edition of the "𝑩𝟑 𝑬𝑷" was released on 10-inch clear vinyl.

✨ The "𝑩𝟑"official video was released on October 17, 2012 and was directed by 𝑬𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑬𝒑𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏.

✨ About the title track, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 and 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 stated that:
🎙️" 'B' means "Brian", and 3... well, it’s just a number."

🎙️ "I am dissatisfied with who I am.That's why the song, 'B3' is about the freedom to pursue what is essential. But identifying that is difficult because you change. I'm different than when the band was founded. And now I'm bored when I look in the mirror and put on the make-up."
