Savage Republic is an independent band from Los Angeles that was formed in the early 1980s and is still active today. The band was originally named [a916144] but changed its name shortly before releasing their debut album in 1982. Founded by UCLA students Mark Erskine and Bruce Licher, along with Philip Drucker (a.k.a. Jackson Del Rey), Jeff Long, and Robert Loveless, Savage Republic has experienced several lineup changes over the years.

Despite creative tensions leading to a split in 1989-1990, the band reformed in 2002 for a reunion tour and has remained active ever since with a different lineup than the original one. Some of their current members include Mark Erskine on drums, percussion, bongos, and vocals; Jackson Del Rey on vocals, guitar & percussion; Thom Fuhrmann on bass, trombone, keyboards, and vocals; Greg Grunke on guitar, bass, dulcimer, and vocals; Bruce Licher on guitar, bass percussion,and vocals; Jeff Long on vocals,bass & guitar; Robert Loveless on keyboards,bass mandolin,and percussion; Ethan Port on guitars ,percussion ,metal horn,and voice.

Hailing from the Los Angeles underground of the 1980s, Savage Republic forged an astonishing reputation for themselves as art-punk and industrial pioneers with their legendary performances. Their brand of ritualistically tribal exhibitions blurred the boundaries of Post-Punk and Industrial music. Their music incorporates minimialist bass rumbles, exotic and/or militaristic drumming, Arabic melodies, alternate tunings, primal chants and even a bit of surf guitar. Savage Republic released four full length albums in the 1980s, plus several live records and compilation tracks. 1989 everything went quiet as the republic scattered to pursue other interests and their labels and distributors folded. After reuniting in 2002 for a brief U.S. tour supporting the boxed-set reissue of their five studio albums by Mobilization Records, several of the members began sharing ideas for new songs, reviving the band officially in 2005. 

In 2006/2007 Savage Republic added drum professor Alan Waddington (the Unforgiven) to the line-up and released "1938" on Neurot Recordings, the band's first studio recording in 18 years. The limited edition "Siam" EP was also released on Neurot Recordings featuring alternate mixes of some of the "1938" material. In 2021 Savage Republic released the album "Meteora" on Gusstaff Records and during the tour promoting this album in January 2023, the band also played a concert in Wrocław, Poland. It became not only a document of this route, but also a kind of summary of their entire history. The album is released in CD format (the entire concert), as a black LP (over half of the concert) and as a limited red vinyl with an 8-inch vinyl record (lathe-cut) added with a few remaining songs from the concert. Both LP versions were pressed on thick 200g vinyl. Vinyl versions include download codes with the entire concert.
