The Replacements

The ultra-influential kinda-punk group are back in action for the twenty-tens, with original members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson backed by tight session players in the absence of the late Bob Stinson and the long-retired Chris Mars. Known for their pitch-perfect songcraft, as well as their intense, shambolic, booze-fuelled live shows throughout the ’80s, these days the Replacements might have lost some of their unpredictability but they've held on to their sheer power.
