Republica dominated the charts in the Nineties with their iconic and fiery front woman, Saffron, and band members Tim Dorney and Johnny Male. They rode the Britpop wave of female-fronted rock bands, injecting it with their self-dubbed “techno-pop, punk rock” sound. Between 1996 and 1999, Republica sold an incredible 3 million albums and clinched Top 5 slots in the UK, America and Europe with platinum sales across the globe. Their hit single ‘Ready to Go’ soared to Number One in many countries and has since become a soundtrack to the past few decades, featuring on more than 300 films and adverts. Saffron has also been in demand from a host of the world’s biggest music acts, including The Prodigy, who used her vocals on ‘Fuel My Fire’ from their critically-acclaimed ‘Fat of the Land’ album.
