Final details have been announced for the tribute to The Replacements. Work began on the project this past Spring and the album includes contributions from The Ergs, The Queers, Modern Machines, Against Me!, J.Page, The Draft, North Lincoln, Drag the River and many, many more making for 23 tracks in all. A pre-order for the album has begun with early copies to ship with a full color poster, some of which will be signed by artist Cristy Road Titled We'll Inherit the Earth!, the disc is due out October 3rd, 2006. The tribute comes shortly after the release of an official retrospective from the original band, titled Don't You Know Who I Think I Was? The Best of Replacements. That best-of release featured 20 tracks including two new songs recorded with the band's surviving lineup. Though never successful in the mainstream, the loved and influential band, which formed in 1979, released seven albums and helped define the then fledgling Minneapolis punk rock scene along with Hüsker Dü and Soul Asylum . The band is also the subject of a detailed background in Our Band Could Be Your Life which also covered Fugazi, Minutemen and Sonic Youth.
