Almost completely unknown outside their native Sheffield, the Repomen have never been remotely fashionable or in vogue. For those, however, who are aware of them, they have been a constant source of revelation and surprise. The group are a post-punk four piece, which consists of Denzil Watson (Vocals, Keyboards) ; Ric Bower (Guitars, Vocals, Keyboards) ; Simon Tiller (Bass) and James Hughes (Drums).

The Repomen are often described as punks, and many of the songs on their recent "Seventeen again" compilation LP - 'She's in Love', 'Save Yourself' and aggressive live track 'Falling' - do indeed have a punk sound. Yet The Repomen are also punks in that they are one-offs, and are unable to be pigeon-holed or to be fitted into a neat category or formula. Over a decade on, their energy is boundless. Each song has been written with a genuine emphasis on fun and with a youthful sense of enthusiasm.
