Los Angeles (USA)-based posk-punk/industrial pioneers Savage Republic are set to release a live album Live in Wrocław January 7, 2023, their first live album in many years, on the 23rd of January via Gusstaff Records. This multichannel live recording documents the feral power and passion of a seasoned band at its zenith, capturing not only the legendary energy of Savage Republic's live performances but also the nuance and dynamics as they thread the needle through their 40+ year catalogue of material.
In 2022, Savage Republic released their eighth album, Meteora, via Mobilization Recordings and Gusstaff Records, and during the tour promoting this album in January 2023, the band played a concert in Wrocław, Poland, and a complete multichannel recording was made and then mixed by Kerry Dowling. It became not only a document of this route but also a kind of summary of their entire history.
Savage Republic member and Mobilization Recordings owner Ethan Port remarks: "With the Meteora LP, the band finally made an album I can listen to from beginning to end without picking up the needle, and that reflects on the cohesiveness and efficiency of this line-up. I hope this live recording has the same effect on listeners. Both Meteora and this live album also showcase the stellar engineering and mixing by Kerry Dowling, who was able to capture the frenetic nature of this version of the band with an insider's perspective. This longest line-up has played together for so long it's a well-honed machine, and there's a strong and deliberate vision, as well as a genuine and passionate personality, in the way we've organized, reworked, and performed the songs. I'm so proud to be part of this current line-up and to be part of this live document."
Savage Republic began as a mainstay in the early 80s Los Angeles art-punk/post-punk scene. Their innovative graphic design by Bruce Licher supported the band's ethos of making haunting and evocative music out of time and place, blending a variety of musical styles from both Eastern and Western traditions into their unique vision.
