The Big Takeover Recommends Savage Republic and Exploratorium

The Big Takeover has reviewed both Independent Project Records releases that went for NACC Adds this week. About Savage Republic‘s Africa Corps Live at the Whisky A Go-Go 30th Dec 1981, the site says, “it’s easy to hear how songs like ‘Real Men,’ ‘Mobilization’ and ‘When All Else Fails’ would’ve blown minds and shattered eardrums back in the day… given a life-enhancing remaster by Warren Defever of His Name is Alive, the set serves not only as a reminder to fans of how on point Savage Republic was in its earliest days, but could also be a fine entry point for newcomers.”

Of Exploratorium, an expanded reissue of a solo EP by Savage Republic founder Bruce Licher, Big Takeover writes, the “beautifully conceived” collection “eschews percussion and discordance entirely for a journey through ambient sound.” Read the full review here, and get the two albums on your airwaves soon!
