Predominantly punk with some rock and a good deal of experimentation deriving from influences across the musical spectrum. Fast, frantic and intelligent mixing politics with tales of how the world is today. Welcome to the First Republic. It's a nice place and we hope you like it.
Formed initially as a side project, First Republic has taken on more momentum than any of the band members could possibly have imagined.
After just a handful of live shows, the band are quickly gaining a reputation for fearless performances which surprise everyone who see them for the first time.
Unwilling to follow sensible routes to making music, the guys usually throw a new song into their set list for every gig and, in one instance at a recent acoustic show, actually played three songs that had never been played before!
As if playing punk acoustically wasn't brave enough.
The songs themselves go seamlessly from politics to humour to love to pain and all the way back again.
First Republic, Please note the new RecordScout.com website is live! We have so many new features all aimed at unsigned, and signed bands looking for valuable exposure. Previously it was just a directory for unsigned bands but our new launch includes MP3 and Video exposure as well as photo galleries. Encourage your fans to sign up and vote for you. When we go live with our national radio coverage the charts will be announced weekly! Unfortunately previous bands and artists will have to set up an new account from scratch but it is worth it!
Hi First Republic, I know I haven't commented you in forever but due to the face of the Swine Flu I have found a site that should Educate all my friends and family to help the prevention of the disease from spreading... www.flufeed.com

Hey! How's the weather over there? I just want to let you know that i'm coming to the UK in late May/early June to play bass with Kevin Montgomery and Tommy Allsup. Tommy played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. I figured that with you being a musician that you would really be able to appreciate this show. Kevin made a little video at my studio last week while we were recording....check it out http://myspacetv. com/index. cfm?fuseaction=vids. individual&videoid=34589518
There are a series of shows in England and Scotland....dates are on my myspace.
We won't be doing my material, but it is a really special show, and Tommy is a true rock'n'roll legend.
Anyway, take care and hope to see you there.

We just wanted to let you know that zeronic split up because of heavy disputes about nothing.
No, we didn..t. ;-)
