The group attracted positive press coverage. Emerging after a wave of female-fronted rock bands (such as Elastica , Lush , Sleeper , Echobelly and Kenickie ), they had, like Curve and Garbage , a notably more aggressive and electronic sound. In 1997, they contributed a cover of ” Are ‘Friends’ Electric? ” to the Gary Numan tribute album Random . That same year, Saffron performed vocals for the Prodigy ‘s “Fuel My Fire” from their album The Fat of the Land . By early 1998, when Barbarossa and Todd left the band, Republica continued as a trio.
