notes

The Repeats Story:

Some of the more refreshing entertainment to come out of Minneapolis since The Mary Tyler Moore Show. With sharp musical contrast, bright harmonies and a tint of glam. Their songs are like listening to two minute power pop episodes of Seinfeld without those funky bass interludes.

To tune in their sound you'll need to change the channel to the early 80's and readjust the rabbit ears a bit to picture The Replacements holding up their end of the bar down from Merle Haggard at that place where everybody knows your name.

Meet The Repeats:

Brian Eggen plays bass and sings backup vocals
Paul Kraft plays drums and sings backup vocals
Al Paul sings and plays guitar

The Repeats "Think Outside The Idiot" Box Set:

All six colored CDs packaged in flying disc. The Repeats "R", "E", "P", "EA", "T" and "S" 5 inches. What's a 5 Inch? We're glad you ask! Basically it's a 7 inch released on CD. For all you kids out there to young to remember. There was a time before iPods and iTunes when you couldn't wait to stick a needle in the groove of that 45 rpm virgin vinyl from "insert your very most favorite band here" just to hear the B side that wasn't being played on the radio. So we thought hey, lets put some fun back into being a fan! So we decided to release six of these so called 5 inches. Each one a different color, autographed and packaged in flying discs. Oh yeah we almost forgot the coolest part, the interior photo of each booklet will combine to create a full-sized poster.

Reviews:

"Three Minutes More" sounded like the Psych Furs playing a Ramones cut!
--Bill Holmes, Internet, March 2004

"The Repeats got new wave in their power pop" "there's definitely an 80's vibe on these sprightly songs"
--SCIsadore, Demorama, June 2004

"reminiscent of the Replacements"
--Rich Horton, Rift Magazine, July/August 2004

Well crafted power pop, competent lyrics and polished production. With songs like "another bruise" if these guys play thier cards right we may be hearing a lot from them later...
--Vapor Hit Records, CD Baby, February 2005

"elements of Weezer, The Jam and Slade"
--Kamey Jade, Gigs Unlimited, November 2005

    Brings me back to my best years of my life. From following on of the previous bands in the late 80's loving and having my heart broken.
