Hey! It's the Punk Rock Monday!

What better way to start off October than with some giants of the 80s Twin Cities Scene, the Replacements? Famous for performing exceedingly, obnoxiously drunk, I managed to find some excellent archival footage of the ‘Mats performing at Minneapolis’s famed 7th Street club in 1981. While later recordings would expand the range of their sonic palette, these clips feature them when they were almost hardcore.

“Goddamn Job” and “Junior’s Got a Gun”


“Kids Don’t Follow”


And a souped up cover of the Beatles’ “Slow Down”
