1. Replica Republic is a co-op.

Created by Ross Felten (speaking), Tim Rausch (guitar) and Dan Yoder (bass), Replica Republic’s first show was played with two laptops under the name Sidewalk. Soon, Alex Felten (guitar), and Lee Diamond (drums) formerly of Alkaloid, and current member of Douglass Kings, joined the band and Replica Republic was born. Their self titled LP was released on vinyl 2008. Soon thereafter, Dan moved to Miami to lead a non-profit, and long time friend Pete Thorn took over adding further influences. Replica Republic has played with some of Chicago’s best bands and venues. The Replica Republic name comes from a punk zine that Lee Diamond published in the 90’s.

XRT 93.1 Chicago – Richard Milne Local Anesthetic “This I thought was one of the most outstanding demos I have heard all year… They’re coming from a place I thoroughly understand,- the guitar crunchiness and funkiness of the Gang of Four and there are modern sounds in here as well. They take it all and give a new twist, and I had a hard time picking which of their 8 songs I should play- I think they are quite good.”
