*repeat repeat is a band comprised of husband-wife duo Jared and Kristyn Corder, along with drummer Andy Herrin and they play “bold, bi-coastal beach pop, at once coolly current and proudly vintage. It’s sugar-coated music with a raw, real, rocky center,” which is actually pretty accurate. No matter what you call their niche corner of fun-loving rock, they’re an awesome band to open the festival because they bring positive energy and get the crowd to cut loose and have a little fun too.
They invited us backstage, to talk about rock and roll, and the eleven animals the Corder family keeps, and to share in some beers (that are named after the band) from Atlanta’s Pontoon Brewing. We made our way from the stage back to the artist lounge with the band, it was clear that they love what they do, even if it does mean outworking the competition.
“We’ve left a lot of vacation time on the table getting to this point,” says Kristyn Corder, ”It’s a family business. A full-time job. And if we have to sacrifice for our business today, then that’s what we do.”
The band is excited to be here. They’ve been playing in Nashville, and touring, but taking the stage at a festival feels fresh for *repeat repeat. They’re taking it all in. Kristyn wanted to know whether all the sequins on her romper played well onstage (they did).
We talked about how the band sounds their best in those driving, sonic instrumental moments, and when they rock hard. They played a Rage Against the Machine cover towards the end of their set, prior to which Jared told the crowd “We’ll never have these 30 minutes back again for the rest of our lives. So let’s fucking go.”
That’s the kind of enthusiasm they bring.
They must’ve stopped to talk to ten people in the few hundred steps between the Criminal Records Stage and the artist lounge behind Peachtree, and it felt like they authentically enjoyed taking that time to interact with the fans and strangers who recognized them. They talked about their eleven animals, their friends in Atlanta at Pontoon Brewing, and the hopefulness that their time was just beginning.
