Lift Your Head Up
This new single is the first that has been entered in the “Rock”category, due to the heavier use of electric guitar. Just An Animal is a song with a message, but a message you can rock out to!
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?

Barbara and Nate met Aria at an Astoria Music Collective open mic and knew they were hearing a serious and special artist. This is going to be a fantastic show!
Aria Anjali is making a name for herself as a singer/songwriter and performer in the New York music scene. She’s 14 years old, but don’t expect kid music from her. An “old soul,” Aria Anjali writes about life, death, and the world around us. Her songs are haunting with pointed, often piercing lyrics. They will make you think, reflect and even shed a tear. Aria has been writing songs since she was 6 and performing at open mics and other venues since 2021. She has performed by invitation at numerous events in New York City, including Taste of Tribeca and Taste of the Seaport, at the Towne Crier in Beacon, New York and at The Hoot festival, an end of summer music festival started by Pete Seeger, in Cold Spring, New York . You can find Aria Anjali on Instagram (@AriaAnjali) and on most streaming platforms.

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.
New Song! New YouTube video today! The Repressions perform their song “Each Time You Go Away,” at The Wild Goose NYC.

Over the past 18 years, Rockwood has become a cultural institution for the NYC independent music scene. This is a beautiful space with fantastic sound engineers, this show is not to be missed!
Playing the Porch Stomp Music Festival on Governor’s Island was a great thrill for The Repressions, as it was their first time playing and attending. Porch Stomp is entirely about community and fellowship among musicians, and New York city can fill an island full. There were simply too many bands and acts and friends on every one of the 20 stages, with so much takent! Thankfully everyone came together for a sing along for the last hour. It was a magical day.
June was also full of fantastic Twitch shows, which brings us to another wonderful, supportive music community. Truly, musicians look out for one another, and Twitch friends and fans who organize the amazing Raid Train events (Thank you @Jedi_Nitemare) foster a sense of conncetion and friendship. The Repressions have to give a special thanks to Stunshine Music and the Gorilla Tag community for their awesome visits!
Also, in June, The Repressions laid down tracks for “Just An Animal,” (the next single due mid August,) released four new YouTube videos, plus shorts, reels and tiktok clips, the band is updating their music studio, and Nate began a summer singing course at Juilliard.
July looks promising!
