The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979.
 Initially a punk rock band, they are considered pioneers of alternative rock.
 The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career.
 Following several acclaimed albums, including "Let It Be" and "Tim", Bob Stinson left the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist.
 Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990.
 Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output.
 The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects.
 A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.
 The Replacements never had significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You", which hit number 1 on the "Billboard" Alt Rock chart, but they influenced numerous alternative rock acts.
Jim Diamond is Singer/Songwriter Jim Diamond's self-titled and third studio album.
 Diamond was assisted by old friends Graham Lyle and Chris Parren, who had worked with him on previous albums.

 The new tracks—"Message to the Boys" and "Pool & Dive"—feature the three surviving original band members: singer and guitarist Paul Westerberg, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars.

 At this point in his career, the former Replacements leader was entering a new phase.
 He said goodbye to professional studios and big-name producers like Brendan O'Brien and Don Was, recording the album in his basement by himself.
 As detailed in the liner notes, Westerberg made no effort to fix imperfections like the tape running out in the middle of a song.
 "Stereo" was packaged with "Mono", which he credited to his Grandpaboy alter ego.
