Details Lead Performance: Republica; Genre: Rock

The debut single from the English quintet Republica erupts with a blast of fuzzed-out power chords, driving dance rhythms, and a rallying sing-along chorus. They claim their sound is ''techno-pop punk rock,'' but cheesy '80s new wave with a female vocalist and an updated '90s break beat is more like it. Garbage has nothing to worry about with ''Ready to Go.'' C
