  Their name is THE REPUBLIK. They asked for a review and quote.
  I viewed their video. Their drummer made me heart happy, the vocals
  were unique, the lead guitar is a blossoming player and the video was simple but very well done.
  The thing is that I think they are 16 to 18 years old and because of their performance, their talent, my music brains hard wired them into my bio-chemical musical pleasures zone.
  
  Perhaps this band will grow into the "next u2".
  I want to hear about them because they made several minutes of my life a smile.
  
  love & peace & blessings & honor

T...Colin Healy, Jake Bauman and Alberto Pizzaro our local boys of Dania Beach and Hollywood Beach Fl. They all met at Bethune Elementary where they quickly struck up a friendship. At Bethune is where all three boys learned violin, when each of them started the second grade. The orchestra became the stomping grounds for them and this is where they learned of each other's musical potential. Colin had already begun writing songs at this point, and Jake had always been interested in playing the bass. So together they formed the band The Republik. Beau is also a local Hollywood boy who has been playing the drums since age ten, he joined the band in January 2008
  
  All three of them along with Beau Million went to South Broward High School.

  "Last Chance Planet" features songwriting and musicianship you wouldn't expect from a group of four young guys ranging in age from 15-18.
  As the group's songwriter, Healy is the spokesman. "What I like about this band is the dedication to our music. When I write a song I hear it a certain way in my head, these guys just seem to consistently make it sound better. They are all great musicians". Check out The Republik and years from now you can say you knew them 'When".

"Good ones come quick," the Broward High School senior said. "Sometimes my best songs are pretty much written in five minutes."
  Maybe it's their musical pedigree. Colin and Republik bassist and long time friend Jacob Bauman, have formal violin training. Colin and Jacob both began playing violin in the second grade and went on to perform with the Broward County Honors Youth Orchestra.
  Bauman is self taught on the bass and has a strong background in music composition. More recently both were Musical Director's and had lead role's in The South Broward High School's production of The Who's rock opera, Tommy.
  The CD "Last Chance Planet" is a pleasant surprise. It features great songs with some amazingly key changes and background music harmonies. "I look at songwriting as a maturation process," Healy said. "I like my writing now but I'm sure I'll get better as I get older." CD's are available at The Dania Beach Bar & Grill where they have been the house band for 2 years. It can also be purchased on line at www.cdbaby.com/cd/republik
