Powerful, personal and political, Repairs are experts at playing with tension and release. Sophomore album Disappointing Sequel sees the band refine and expand their sound from their debut Repeat, Repeat, while remaining true to their DIY roots.
Continuing on the themes of the 2020's, Disappointing Sequel includes songs about never-ending anxiety, crushing disappointment, the importance of connection – and why being angry matters. Nationalism is still stupid.
"REPAIRS blend their noise rock foundation with sharp lyricism, showcasing their prowess in their craft. The driving force behind the band's sound is both loud and immediate, underscoring the punk rock essence which permeates their songwriting." Destroy//Exist
Disappointing Sequel will be released on Wednesday 17 April 2024.
Mixed by Martin Phillips (Family Band, Memory Foam) and mastered by Rohan Evans (Wine Cellar, Arcade Recordings), Disappointing Sequel will be available on limited edition transparent blue vinyl as well as all streaming platforms. Vinyl pre-orders are available through Flying Out .
