Here Comes A Replacements Tribute
v/a - Let The Bad Times Roll, A Tribute To The Replacements

Mikey Erg, Jon Snodgrass, Timeshares, Sammy Kay, and Celebration Summer are just a few of the names on an upcoming 13-song tribute to The Replacements called Let the Bad Times Roll, A Tribute to The Replacements. The compilation will release via Bandcamp on Oct. 20 digitally, followed on vinyl a week later on October 27 via Creep Records.

“December  2022 I was drinking at the Fishtown Tavern and 'Can’t Hardly Wait ' came on the jukebox, and at that moment I knew this tribute to the Mats needed to happen," Arik Victor from Creep Records says in a press release. "The next day, we invited all the bands we love.”

Though we doubt putting the comp together was that simple.

Tracklisting:

SIDE A
1 TIRED RADIO - BASTARDS OF YOUNG
2 MIKEY ERG - WAKE UP
3 HER HEAD'S ON FIRE - ALEX CHILTON
4 NECKSCARS UNSATISFIED

All The Time Is Yours Now
Sell The Heart Records (2022)

With a plodding, building guitar line, a slow drum intro and the opening lyrics of “Light a candle / For the good times gone away,” Goddamnit isn’t subtle of where they’re going on All The Time Is Yours Now. Playing Hot Water Music-style punk, it’s a break-up record steeped in old school emo. While the lyrics are somewhat weighted in … Read more

Love At Leeds
Don Giovanni (2022)

Sometimes I dread writing about an artist for the fourth or fifth time. What new thing can I say? Fortunately, Mikey Erg isn’t just prolific -- he mixes it up, a lot. Last time around, I opined that the last two tracks seems to show a new direction and I’m going to argue that ‘90s rock-influenced tone is exactly where … Read more

Mikey Erg
Rad Girlfriend Records (2021)

Mikey Erg deserves an honorary degree from somebody. The projects he fronts all have a healing, therapeutic quality, which is something we all need as the calendar flips.Billed as a “return to punk” after doing solo singer-with-a-guitar thing, the self-titled record is a statement that begins with its Clash nod cover. It’s loud and direct. It’s personal in that unique … Read more
