RIP Heiko Schrepel (One Man Army, The Revolts)

Heiko Schrepel, bass player for San Francisco punks One Man Army has passed away at the age of 39. He also played in The Revolts and was well known in the Bay area punk scene. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

A statement on his passing written by his friend Lisa Brownlee can be found below:

“It is with broken hearts we say goodbye to our dear friend Heiko Schrepel. As we all mourn his passing, it’s important to remember that Heiko was a rebel in every sense of the word. Perhaps to a fault, but he was a true friend to everyone he knew and he will always be remembered for his immeasurable, style, swagger, and kindness. There was never a dull moment around him. Another good one leaves us to go hang out with legends like Arturo Vega, Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone and Tony Sly to name a few. Wherever they all are, you know there is punk rock music, love and laughter, which should help comfort us all. You will be forever missed Heiko, but never forgotten. Enjoy some peace now..you deserve it.”
