Three Decades of Art
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville-based blues-rock group The All New and Improved Patented Repeating Action Blues Band is officially reviving its long-lost 1990s analog catalog. After thirty years in storage, the band’s remastered recordings are now available on all major streaming platforms. The release highlights the group's raw, DIY sound and their signature track, “Repeating Action Blues,” originally recorded in 1993.
The band, composed of cousins Tony, Robert, and Aaron Evola, formed in the Nashville underground scene. Their name and lead single were inspired by a 19th-century mechanical slogan found inside an old M. Shulz & Company piano during their debut sessions. The improvised lyrics for “Repeating Action Blues” were pulled directly from the piano’s carvings and objects in the room, capturing the spontaneous energy that defines the group.
“We never expected anyone outside our circle to hear these recordings,” says founding member Tony Evola. “Seeing this catalog come to life after thirty years is surreal.” Robert Evola adds, “That piano slogan was a joke that turned into a song and then a band name. It’s wild to see new listeners finally discover that moment from 1993.”
The music is now available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. For press inquiries and interviews, contact: Spiritual Medicine Records at spiritualmedicinerecords@gmail.com.
