Takes me back to 1996. I just finished Air Force Basic Training. I was waiting for a Greyhound Bus to take me to the airport for my first assignment. This song came on the MTV late night programming. The energy and pulse the song gave me, overcame my apprehension. Turned my anxiety to anticipation. Thanks Republica and MTV. I needed that jolt and i will never lose that connection to this song.

It was pretty huge in its day and I believe was the song at the end of Scream, an iconic (for a while) horror film. Their album wasn't that good though and Saffron didn't sound good live, so they kind of fizzled out.

[@fractalign]

Yeah she really nailed it with Republica, not that her earlier house stuff was bad, her vocal range is better suited to the Brit Pop sound.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

[@kevinh96]

One of my favs from back in the 90s. Saffron was a gorgeous woman with attitude and I always saw Republic as successors to Transvision Vamp, with the same pop/punk style fronted by a stunning young lady. Unfortunately they only lasted a couple of years before dropping off the radar, although I believe they are still going. They should have been huge given the success of other female fronted pop/punk/rock bands around at the time like Garbage, Elastica, Hole and many others, Republica deserved to be right up their too.
