The Replacements are an American rock band known for their influential music. Their early albums, such as "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash" and the "Stink EP," were heavily influenced by American hardcore, similar to their contemporaries Hüsker Dü. As they progressed, their sound evolved to include slower tempos.
In 1986, Bob Stinson left the band and was replaced by Slim Dunlap. Internal tensions eventually led to the band's breakup in 1991. However, in 2006, the surviving members (excluding original drummer Chris Mars and the late Bob Stinson) reunited to record new tracks for a Replacements compilation.
Exciting news came on October 3rd, 2012 when it was announced that The Replacements were active again. With a rich history and enduring influence on rock music, The Replacements continue to captivate audiences with their unique sound and legacy.

Tim, the Replacements' major-label debut, was the last album to feature the original Replacements lineup. A departure from the raw, punk-rock aesthetic that dominated their Twin/Tone releases, Tim demonstrated Paul Westerberg's gift for song craft with uptempo rock anthems ("Bastards Of Young" and "Left Of The Dial"), poignant ballads ("Here Comes A Regular") and clever lyricism ("Little Mascara"). Westerberg's gritty yet melodic vocals convey a sense of urgency that perfectly compliments the rough-hewn songs.

The Replacements initially formed in 1979, and were wild and quickly became notorious for their drunken, chaotic gigs. After they built up a sizable local following, the Minneapolis label Twin/Tone signed them. Critics and fellow musicians were quick to praise the band, and they developed a large underground following.
