Lift Your Head Up
Today, Friday May 19th, from 2- 4pm we are so happy to be part of the JEDI FRIENDS RAID TRAIN on Twitch! Live music for 4 days, nonstop, from over 40 fantastic and diverse artists! Thank you to Twitch superstar Jedi Nitemare for conducting this train! Twitch is free to watch from anywhere. Join and stay on the train to enjoy so many amazing performers on Twitch!
The Repressions’ new song “Each Time You Go Away” is the official entry for NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest 2024! This contest features independent artists and is a splendid showcase of songwriting and desks! A new tiny desk and all of the previous customized tiny desks can be found in the video
In life we try on many hats, as we should, to figure out who we are. The world at large puts many hats, labels, and behaviors upon us that may not align with who we really are, and the parts of ourselves that we know, deeply, and without pretense. Each Time You Go Away is a song about going away from, and trying to get back to, your true self.
Thank you for watching and remember to seek out the other artists in the contest, it is always full of talent!
The Repressions are slightly late to the Tiktok party, but are absolutely enjoying the show. This is a place to see quick clips of live performances, musical improv and likely some silly outtakes. See you there!
The Repressions want to get the music and message out there, everywhere you might be. You’ll find new links at the top of our website and right here for Mastodon (in with the new) and Tumblr (in with the old.)

The Repressions are slightly late to the Discord party, but our friends on Twitch are showing us the beauty of this extra spot. This will be another place to get news about all of the music and shows, share your own news, meet fans and friends and lots of other talented musicians. See you there!
The Repressions are back to the in-person stage after two years of livestreaming-only, with two shows in July (7/13 and 7/30.) First up, you are invited to LIC Bar in Long Island City, Queens, an open, relaxing venue that is a constant for terrific live indie music. On Wednesday July 13th, The Repressions join Alexander Bishop (8pm) and Elliot Greer (10pm) and will take the stage at 9pm. Admission is free, feelings will be felt and there are so many songs to share!
