Album Notes

The Repeats "Think Outside The Idiot" Box Set:

All six colored CDs packaged in flying disc. The Repeats "R", "E", "P", "EA", "T" and "S" 5 inches. What's a 5 Inch? We're glad you ask! Basically it's a 7 inch released on CD. For all you kids out there to young to remember. There was a time before iPods and iTunes when you couldn't wait to stick a needle in the groove of that 45 rpm virgin vinyl from "insert your very most favorite band here" just to hear the B side that wasn't being played on the radio. So we thought hey, lets put some fun back into being a fan! We've decided to release six of these so called 5 inches. Each one a different color, autographed and packaged in flying discs. Oh yeah we almost forgot the coolest part, the interior photo of each booklet will combine to create a full-sized poster.

The Repeats Story:

Some of the more refreshing entertainment to come out of Minneapolis since The Mary Tyler
Moore Show. With sharp musical contrast, bright harmonies and a tint of glam. Their songs
are like listening to two minute power pop episodes of Seinfeld without those funky bass
interludes.

Meet The Repeats:

Brian Eggen plays bass and sings backup vocals
Paul Kraft plays drums and sings backup vocals
Al Paul sings and plays guitar

Reviews:

"Three Minutes More" sounded like the Psych Furs playing a Ramones cut!
--Bill Holmes, Internet, March 2004

"The Repeats got new wave in their power pop" "there's definitely an 80's vibe on these sprightly songs"
--SCIsadore, Demorama, June 2004

"reminiscent of the Replacements"
--Rich Horton, Rift Magazine, July/August 2004

Well crafted power pop, competent lyrics and polished production. With songs like "another bruise" if these guys play thier cards right we may be hearing a lot from them later...
--Vapor Hit Records, CD Baby, February 2005

"elements of Weezer, The Jam and Slade"
--Kamey Jade, Gigs Unlimited, November 2005
