Flex Your Head 22: The Replacements - ‘Let It Be’

Scream Therapy host Jason Schreurs and Flex Your Head all-star Mike Isacson delve into our favourite fuckups The Replacements and their career defining album, Let It Be. An unusually diverse album, equal parts rollicky punk rock and heart-wrenching ballads, Let It Be found the sweet spot of what would later be called "indie rock."
