Biografía

The Replacements, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, started off as a hardcore punk band who began to incorporate country, power-pop, and singer-songwriter influences in their sound to become one of the leaders of the early alt-country set and one of the flagship bands of the American 80's post-punk scene, as well as a major influence on 90's indie rock. The band was wild and full of life, featuring vocalist and guitarist Paul Westerberg and Chris Mars the drummer as well as the Stinson brothers Bob playing guitar and Tommy playing bass. They were infamous for their hard drinking lifestyles and their ragged stage performances, notorious for coming to shows too drunk to play very well at all, or sometimes just performing entire sets of covers. The sound of this band showed off the very best of independent rock n' roll. More than possibly any other band since the Rolling Stones, the Replacements embodied the spirit of rock n' roll, from their raucous performances, drug addictions, charismatic and romantic frontman, and wild, basic rock n' roll songs.
