Replicants (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Replicants was a side project of Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards of Failure; Paul D'Amour, formerly of Tool, and Chris Pitman. The band recorded one album, comprised entirely of covers of musicians such as The Cars, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Steely Dan and Pink Floyd, among others. The album is known for pitting John Lennon's bitter slam against Paul McCartney, "How Do You Sleep?", against McCartney's more lighthearted "Silly Love Songs" within three tracks of each other.

Andrews and Edwards would later release one more album as Failure, Fantastic Planet (album), in 1996, and D'Amour and Pitman would go on to form Lusk, who released one album, Free Mars, in 1997.
