For the 2000 Keanu Reeves movie, see The Replacements (film).
The Replacements (also known as The 'Mats or The Mats, from "The Placemats" - an insult from a detractor who joked the band's name as 'The Placemats', which the band then took and made for themselves) were a seminal alternative rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They began as a punk rock outfit, along with other hometown heroes Hüsker Dü, but they gradually shifted to a more mainstream, blues-influenced rock style. Loud and exuberant, the band featured guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bassist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars.
