YipHerLastName's Shawn Jackson on Chaos, Identity & Experimental Metal | East Coast DNA Interview

East Coast DNA sits down with Shawn Jackson, the creative force behind YipHerLastName, an experimental metal band redefining boundaries with a blend of cinematic soundscapes, guttural vocals, and poetic lyricism. The music dives into the themes of identity, chaos, and transformation, as well as the influence of East Asian folklore and existential philosophy that underpin YipHerLastName’s intense, immersive sound.

In this episode, Shawn shares the physical and musical journey that brought him from China and across the East Coast of Canada, ultimately to Halifax, where the project has taken on new meaning and momentum.

🎸 What to Expect:
• The story behind YipHerLastName’s formation and sonic evolution
• Deep dives into lyrics, visuals, and the meaning behind the music
• Studio insights from the in-person session
• Bonus creative segments submitted by Bethany and Mr. Dinosaur
• Collaboration highlights with Braeden Lightfoot and Richard Lloyd

🎙️ Special thanks to Richard Lloyd for the studio-quality audio.
Recording in mobile studios on the road might just be our new favorite thing.
