Lift Your Head Up
New YouTube video today! Starpool is a song about using your imagination to help you through hardships. We cannot knock over every obstacle in our path, but what if we could fly over or around it instead?
Filmed live at Alewife in Sunnyside, Queens, NYC, with Astoria Music Collective.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions’ noisiest song, Trust Your Doors, is about change. Making changes is hard, even when the changes are good for you. You can see it, but can you make that step through?
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover Simon and Garfunkel’s “April Come She Will,” by request, live, by request.
April Come She Will is a special song in The Repressions’ history. This was the very first song that Nate learned on guitar at age 14 (taught by by his mother Lisa.) Many years later, he was playing the song at an open mic in Astoria, and Barbara, a huge fan of the song, looked up. That was the night they met, and the first conversation they had was based around this song. Now, all these changing seasons later, they play it together.
April Come She Will, written by Simon and Garfunkel. From their 1966 album, Sounds of Silence.

Life can make you feel pretty small, no matter where the calendar lands. This song is for anyone who does not feel they are meeting the strange standards adulthood.
Oh how the evening did rawk! Thank you to host Jimmy Artache, Irish Whiskey Bar Astoria, JW Farrell and Sam Rasiotis!
Folk-punk is a term that we hear often to describe the band, and we say that makes as much sense as all of the the genres we jump to. We’ll be playing with cool cats Sam Rasiotis and JW Farrell next week, who both bring the noise and passion, and so The Repressions will be dedicating this set to the faster, rambunctious songs. Jump with us!
Human. Nature.
Do our instincts work against our growth? Why do we act out in wildness while we further ourselves from the natural world?
Tonight on Youtube we have a lyric video for the song “What’s To Be Expected of the Wild,” performed unplugged at Repressions’ Castle.
More live shows in cool small venues with no cover charge- Probably pretty cool, right? Support indie music and it will support you right back.
