About The Replacements

Striking an imprecise balance of recklessness and heart, the Replacements were one of the most beloved bands to emerge from the American rock & roll underground in the 1980s. Hailing from Minneapolis, the Replacements careened through their early years on Twin/Tone Records, earning a reputation for beer-soaked concerts and sloppily recorded albums that sometimes disguised the wit and empathy of songwriter and de facto leader Paul Westerberg. They next took their stab at the big time, signing with Sire Records and shedding founding guitarist Bob Stinson -- they became critics' darlings without becoming a mainstream success. They made a spirited debut with 1981's Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, scored a major breakthrough with 1984's Let It Be, and achieved their greatest commercial success with 1989's relatively polished Don't Tell a Soul.
