We compiled a new batch of your suggestions and EpicLloyd has been writing up feedback for seven of the ideas. Let's see what he thought of them...

Jesse Owens vs Usain Bolt [submitted by DragonsBlood23]

There's so much great history within both of these men. I could see there being a killer amount of sweet comedy and rap nuggets in both the Owens and Bolt verses.  Owens was so ground breaking and there was so much going on in the wo...

Update on the New ERB video!

Last weekend the ERB crew were in a LA studio filming the next ERB. Exciting times! For those unaware the matchup is "Indiana Jones vs Lara Croft". 

I just wanted to drop you a couple of images from the shoot. We are happy to introduce you to our special guest Croix Provence (see image below) who will be portraying Lara Croft in this ERB. We found her by doing a traditional casting call in Los Angeles, which is something we hadn't done before. She has been super g...

#MakeThisBattle Feedback - August 28th 2022

Ahoy there mateys, and welcome to another spine tingling edition of #MakeThisBattle. My name is Nice Peter! This week, I’m a relaxed man, the stray German Shepherd that has been bounding enthusiastically through my life for 5 months is safe in her new home, just outside Portland, OR. I got to drive up and drop her off, and travelled through a place called “Grant’s Pass”. I took it as a sign. ;)

On to the matchups, and at a quick glance I see there are a...

Recap of Chat Session with Peter & Lloyd

This week Peter & Lloyd hosted another chat session in the ERB Discord server. Here is a recap of what was discussed.

Peter kicked off discussing the writing for Indiana Jones vs Lara Croft. They have "restructured the verses, made them a little longer, cut a lot of fat, added some meat, made some jokes more clear, grouped references together". The writing is now 99% complete with only a few tweaks left to do. They intend recording the final audio in the ne...

Recap of today's chat session with Nice Peter [12th July]

Earlier today we held a Discord chat session that was hosted by Nice Peter. This is a summary of the main points that were discussed, for those of you who couldn't tune in live.

Peter began with some non-ERB news by telling us about puppies. He explained how a stray German Shepherd approached his wife in a parking lot. They took it home and attempted to locate the owner. But, the dog had no collar or chip to identify it with. They then took it to a vet to get spayed and the vet later co...

Reminder: we need your match-up ideas!

Just wanted to post up a quick reminder that this week we are specifically looking for match-up ideas featuring two real life characters. (no fictional characters please)

We will be also inviting the wider fanbase to submit their own match-up ideas too, as we don't want them feeling left out of the action. 

Peter and Lloyd will then decide which ones they want to appear on a YouTube poll - the matchup that receives the most votes will be made into an actual ERB video...

Hola patrons! We hope you are well. Got a little video for you.

A little while ago we opened a channel on the ERB Discord server for lyric submissions for "Diego Maradona vs Tom Brady", which is a match-up that we are considering making sometime in the future. Maybe even this year. We've not decided just yet.

#MakeThisBattle Feedback - 12th May 2022

Good afternoon, ladies and germs - I'm Nice Peter! Welcome to another brain rattling edition of Make This Battle. “Ladies and germs…” somebody started that somewhere. It’s strange how some things take off and become a “thing that we’ve all heard”. Have you ever looked up the origins of “okay?” It’s wild. It’s like Victorian “lulz”.

Anyhoo (someone did that first too) as I understand it, today's selection of match-ups has a str...
