Delving into the essence of the EP, it becomes evident that it is a bold and unapologetic collection of songs that push boundaries and challenge societal norms. The humor embedded within the album reflects the Valleys cultural context of its time, offering a glimpse into a different era where certain expressions would be deemed controversial by today's standards. This provocative nature is further emphasized by Daryl Evans' statement, underscoring the EP's potential to stir up controversy and face censorship in the current digital landscape. Daryl said "Yes the album is controversial and a bit offensive by todays standards, but I wouldnt change it. We've been banned on other platforms for things no where near as bad as these songs, so we won't even attempt it. They will be exclusives on the website".
Given the EP's contentious content, the decision to make the Viva La Valleys Series Volume 1 to 3 exclusively available on our website is strategic and intentional. By offering these volumes solely on this platform, the creators maintain control over the distribution of their work, ensuring that it reaches the intended audience without facing the risk of being censored or restricted on external platforms.
