What’s To Be Expected of The Wild – New lyric video
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.
Saturday December 7- Virtual Open Mic
The Repressions are excited to be a part of this first Virtual Open Mic, hosted by Josh of the band MEDALS IN THE CHUTE. This will feature artists from all over the country, each performing one song in one video… We look forward to hearing new sounds and reaching new musical communities!

New Lyric Video – Ginger Dizzy
Sometimes it is okay to wish to be hazy and dreamy, instead of sad. Our imaginations can take us to beautiful, perhaps healing places.
New Memes, Artwork & Comics for You
The Repressions Castle, to the mortal eye may look like a tiny NYC apartment, but it is a one stop art house… too bad the ideas come faster than the time it takes to finish them. Enjoy some new memes, comics and song lyric illustrations…

The B Sides Show Photos
How cool and fine it was to play the new and dreamier and softer songs, the forest music of The Repressions… How lovely cool it was to meet new friends and hear new music from Gary D and Chloe’s Touch… Thank you to everyone who came out!
Next Show- B Sides Thursday 11/21
The Repressions are always working on new songs, and want to use this showcase to share some new, some newer, some softer and dreamier songs such as Starpool, From The Blue Green Sea, Quiet Solitude and Starlight Golfcourse. The showcase is hosted by the talented Jimmy Artache and promises to feature other cool local artists. No cover charge, just wild and soft music right near the 30th Avenue Subway stop in glorious Astoria. Hope to see you there!
