Replicants

Replicants was a four-piece band, consisting of Ken Andrews, Paul D'Amour, Greg Edwards, and Chris Pitman, which has apparently been on hiatus since 1996. This is highly unlikely though, as each member has kept busy with other projects and bands. The group has only released one album, a self-titled cover album, in 1995. The band's name comes from the verb 'To replicate', or 'To copy', making fun of the band's status as "a tribute band"^[1].

Origin

Some months after Paul D'Amour left Tool, where he played the role as the bass player, he joined Chris Pitman, a keyboardist, and Failure members Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards. The four decided to restrict their work to covering songs by famous bands active in the 70's and the 80's. Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan gives vocals during "Silly Love Songs", a track from the album^[2].

1996

During the months of 1996, the band decided to follow different paths. Ken went on to perform as a solo artist, while Chris, Greg, and Paul joined Brad Laner of the band Medicine to form LUSK which put out one album Free Mars , although the three have now moved on to other projects^[3].
