LIVE REVIEW: Reptar at New World Brewery 10.21.12
Photo via Instagram It’s rare that you see a band perform with the childlike sense of wonder. When you do witness that sort of Joie de vivre, you hold on to it and relish it. And much like the fictional character from the nostalgic cartoon we’re all familiar with – Reptar has that sense of wonder. When they took the stage at New World Brewery on October 20th, their upbeat mixture of electronic fused indie pop and youthful atmosphere... Read More
GIVEAWAY: 2 Tickets to see Reptar at New World Brewery on October 21
If you can’t already tell, we love Reptar. We first became enamored with the Athens, Ga. after their late-night dance party at Antiwarpt 2011, then proceeded to rave over their music videos, played them on our year-end recap with the GNC boys, given away a song, and examined their latest LP – Body Faucet. Tonight the deal gets sweeter as the holmies at THXmgmt and Aestheticized have teamed up with us to send you and a friend... Read More
ALBUM REVIEW: Reptar – Body Faucet
On May 1 Athens, Ga. group Reptar released their debut LP, Body Faucet. Produced by Ben Allen (Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion, Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest, and more recently Washed Out’s Within and Without), the album’s 12 tracks move a quick 56 minutes, meshing Michael Angelakos-esque (lead singer of Passion Pit) vocals, and a Vampire Weekend aesthetic to some dreamy, light, fun results. At its best, tracks like... Read More

LISTEN: SubAp! on WMNF’s Grand National Championships 12.07.11
Last night, the boys at Grand National Championships welcomed SubAp! to the program where we played some of our favorite tracks of 2011. Corin was not present, but Alastair, Jerrad, and myself drowned our sorrows in a playlist that included songs from The Happiness Machine, Creepers, Michael Christmas, Criminal Culture, and a whole slew of others. T’was a grand time indeed, and we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge all of the... Read More
WATCH: Reptar – “Rainbounce”
Reptar's Graham Ulincy performs at the 2011 Antiwarpt Music Festival on July 30, 2011./Photo by: Ray Roa Reptar’s set at Antiwarpt was a crazy, confusing, late night dance party. Therefore, it makes sense that their video for “Rainbounce” would be just as off the wall. Directed by Ross Brubeck (who was also at the helms for the band’s clip for “Blastoff”), the four-and-a-half minute video opens with shillouettes of band members... Read More
