The Golden Republic resurfaces: Do we have a reunion in our future?
It’s been a handful of years since The Golden Republic — one of the biggest indie super-bands to come out of the area since the late 1990s — split up and went their separate ways. Lead singer Ben Grimes keeps the local scene fresh with his new band Soft Reeds, drummer Ryan Shank slays the skins in both Roman Numerals and Be/Non, and guitarist Kenn Jankowski is best-known these days for his newest indie incarnation, the Republic Tigers.
However, we recently spotted a new TGR Facebook music page, and the band has dangled a little treat in front of fans: big news coming soon! Do we smell a reunion in the works?
