Reptar

What is reptar? Who are they? Where did they come from? No one knows. 

Perhaps they fell from the sky, torched in fire, ready to fill the ears of everyone on Earth with optimistic, electro-dance-sex pop.  Perhaps they shot out of the ocean, draped in seaweed, bouncing off the waves, and just happened land on a guitar.  Perhaps they really should have been politicians.  Whatever their origin was, their music will joygasm your soul.

I remember the first time I heard about reptar.  I was in Athens for Athfest 2011.  They were playing at the 40 watt on the last night I was in Athens.  I wanted to go, but once again, they were beyond capacity.  Needless to say, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see them, so I always told people that it wasn't worth it to see them.  I still hadn't heard their music.

The first time I heard their music, I listened to the song Blast Off.  I remember thinking, "I really havn't heard anything like this before."  I was a newbie to the idea of Indie Rock.  I was stuck.  I loved them. 

For any first time listeners, I urge you to listen to their music.  Lend your ears to 1) Blast Off 2) Rainbounce 3) Houseboat Babies 4) Stuck in my ID and 5) Cannabis Canyon.  If these songs don't break your soul open and ooze every ounce of dance you have onto the floor... then you might be a cyborg, or perhaps def. 

Don't wait.  Do it now. Seriously, this is how babies are made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG4dLtVmap4

I appreciate all of the 8 people that read this post.  I bid you good day, and I hope you fall in love with this band.
