Republic (band)

The band is popular in its native country and among Hungarian speaking minorities in other parts of the world.

The most recent change in the band's composition was in 1991 when the original lead guitarist Imre Bali retired and was replaced by Tamás Patai.

While not formal members of the band, András "Bundás" Szabó (violin) and Gábor Halász (acoustic guitar, vocals) perform with the band during their live shows.

On albums, Republic frequently refers to itself ironically as "the worst group in Hungary″.

The logo of the band is a stylised fish which from a certain angle resembles a human figure.
