12 EPs is a monthly EP challenge/event that will be running as of now-ish. There's no stress though. You know why there's no stress? Because it's 2013, bitches. We left stress behind. There's so little stress I haven't even made the 12 EPs website yet!
...Which is why I'm making this topic. It officially started today, being the first of the month, but the community website hasn't been made yet. I don't know when it will be made either because I'm tired as fuck today and I have to go back to work this week before making it to Melbourne for the WB PARTY.
It will happen though.
For now however, just enjoy your New Year holiday and maybe start thinking about what your first EP might be about/what style you want to aim for. All of your amazing releases will be hosted on BandCamp* and then using the BandCamp API I will just embed all of the releases onto the 12 EPs homepage on the first of every month. The 12 EPs website I'm making** will serve as a digest / collection point for all of our releases to make them easily accessible and will have a forum for communique.
There's only 5 rules I can think of for now that I want to impose:
1) No copyrighted material (BandCamp will pwn you for this, not so much me).
2) Try write original songs. Covers and remixes that don't come with permission will make me cry.
3) Start and finish the EP within the calendar month. Have it uploaded by the 31st so I can embed them all on the site on the 1st. (communication techniques will be figured out)
4) We are loosely defining an EP as "at least 3 songs and not longer than 30 minutes" (this one mostly applies to me :3).
5) Be nice to people.
This first month might be a bit of a rough ride because this is a very last minute idea, but again it's only the 1st right now so it doesn't even matter.
Oh, and join Phil's FB group he made for us:

* If you want to host on something other than BandCamp and that alternative does not allow embedding then you can't be on the 12 EPs front page. This isn't an exclusive deal with BandCamp, it's just their player+API are easy as fuck.
** Browsing through WordPress themes is classed as making a website right?
