Description
After years of playing in other bands, both with each other and with others, enduring numerous attempts and grueling near misses, lessons learned and wits sharpened, this is the band they’ve been longing for all these years.

The Repercussions were born in the summer of 2002 when friends and former-band mates Matthew Scott (vocals) and Dave Harrison (guitar) spoke about forming a new band that represented their musical influences while simultaneously creating a sound of their own. After recruiting friends and one-time band mates, namely local legend Matt Dallow (guitar), seasoned skin slapper Nick Berlingieri (drums), and the mighty Sean "Don't Fuck with Me" Corkery (bass), the lineup was set.

Since their inception, The Repercussions have thoroughly rocked people all over the world with their high energy brand of tough-as-nails rock n roll. They have received overwhelmingly warm welcomes from audiences on their home turf of Long Island, as well as in New York City, the NYC Metro Area, upstate New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. During this busy schedule of live gigs, the band has snuck in studio time to record and release a 6 song EP and a 2 song single from the album.
The hilariously tongue-in-cheek titled EP, “Don’t Fear…The Repercussions” as well as the “Heather in Pleather” single were released worldwide in February of 2004 by ESCHE Records. These recordings earned them a spot in the national Little Steven’s Underground Garage Battle of the Bands, beating out nearly 3,000 other applicants. Their blistering live performance catapulted them to the finals for the New York region, which brought massive national exposure for the band including press, radio, internet, and a forthcoming film documentary. Their recordings as well as their live shows have received outstanding reviews from press across the nation. Live performances, interviews, live tracks, and cuts from the EP have been heard on both FM and Internet radio. Orders for the albums and for band merchandise have been sent out to all four corners of the globe.
The members credit their growing popularity to their boundless energy, their ability to move an audience with both musical and showman-like qualities, and a style steeped in the tradition of rock n roll’s greatest performers. Although many have called them a “garage rock band”, they have a wide variety of influences. The band most obviously draws from 60’s British Invasion, as well as 50’s R&B, Motown and Stax soul, and 70’s punk rock and power pop.
The Repercussions continually play in support of their highly anticipated debut EP and are currently writing and recording material for upcoming full length albums.

Shun the Top 40 and believe the hype: The Repercussions may very well be the band you’ve been longing for all these years too.
