New YouTube video today! It;s “We Are The Strange Ones,” live, from their August concert at Rockwood Music Hall. It was a wonderful night with an incredible crowd.
This song is one of the most popular requests, and has been referred to as a second theme song of sorts (since there is already an official theme song.) Our society can make people feel like outsiders, simply because they care about things. If it is strange to care, that’s okay. We are strange. We’ll always care.

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.
