The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. Initially a punk rock band, they are considered one of the pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects. The band is referred to by their nickname “ he ’Mats” by fans, which originated as a truncation of “The Placemats,” a mispronunciation of their name. Tommy was 14 when the band started.
