The Replacements
The Replacements initially formed in 1979, when Paul Westerberg joined a garage punk band formed by brothers Bob (guitar) and Tommy Stinson (bass) and drummer Chris Mars. Originally called the Impediments, the Minnesota residents changed their name to the Replacements after being banned from a local club for disorderly behavior. In their early days, they sounded quite similar to Hnsker Dn, the leaders of the Minneapolis punk scene. However, the Replacements were wilder and looser than the Hnskers and quickly became notorious for their drunken, ...[more]

The ragged and glorious alt-rock of The Replacements made them one of the greatest and most iconic American bands of the 1980s, and inspired countless groups to come. Fronted by lead singer, pianist/guitarist, and principal songwriter Paul Westerberg, these heroes of post-punk/pre-grunge rock 'n' roll fused garage band greatness with powerful pop beauty. Fueled by both thrashing energy and a lyrical and emotive sonic flow, The Replacements' kamikaze live shows and richly textured albums made them music lege [ read more ]

After emerging from and defining the Minneapolis music scene of the early 1980s and issuing a series of seminal releases on Twin/Tone, The Replacements signed to Sire Records in 1985. All Shook Down, a stripped-down, largely acoustic set first released in 1990, was their last album for the label, and proved to be their final one as a band as well. While it features lead singer and songwriter Paul Westerberg still making music with his fellow founding members Chris Mars (drums) and Tommy Stinson (bass [ read more ]

The 1983 album rolled garage rock, punk, country, folk and more into a sound that delivered signature songs including "Color Me Impressed" and "Within Your Reach," as well as "Willpower" and the drunken punch of "Mr. Whirly." Six previously unreleased bonus tracks include an alternate take on "Treatment Bound" and the solo home demo of the lost classic "Bad Worker" - also featured is "Lookin' For Ya," originally issued only on KQDS-FM's Trackin' Up North talent search compilation.

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash is a slight but enjoyable debut album from the Replacements, capturing the quartet halfway between the loud, fast punk rock of the Ramones and Husker Du and the classic rock raunch of the Rolling Stones. Most of the record speeds by in a flurry of ragged guitars, rushed rhythms and hoarse vocals ? it's about the sound, not the songs.

The Replacements came into their own with Hootenanny, a careening, drunken stumble through punk, rock & roll, country, blues and folk. The eclecticism of the album separated the Replacements from the post-punk hardcore pack.They're still sloppy, to be sure, but Bob Stinson's guitar stings and the rhythm section of Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars rocks with a loose abandon that makes even the filler ? and there's a lot of filler ? enjoyable garage-punk.

The 1982 EP is a 15-minute adrenaline masterpiece. Liner notes writer Terry Katzman says, "the band began to merge its ragged sense of honesty with true rock 'n' roll power." Standouts include "Kids Don't Follow" and "Go" plus bonus material including three session outtakes - "Staples In Her Stomach" and covers of "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" - and Westerberg's solo home demo for "You're Getting Married."

Following quick on the heels of the group's debut, the Stink EP takes the loud-hard-fast attitude of Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash to the extreme, mistakenly giving the impression that the Replacements were a hardcore band.

The Replacements were one of the three great American underground bands of the '80s (the other two were R.E.M. and Hnsker Dn), influencing a generation of alternative bands with their ramshackle, ragged rocking and Paul Westerberg's heart-tugging songs. In short, they were the band no one heard except for the young guitar-slingers inspired to form bands of their own. All for Nothing/Nothing for All, a double-disc set comprised of one disc of "hits" and one disc of rarities, is supposed to [ read more ]
