RESISTOR

Artist Information

Biography

'Resistor shows hard music can be party music', a music-reporter writes just after the debut EP launch party.

From the first notes of 'High Voltage' there is no escaping the forceful nature of Resistors crossover electrorock.

“The electronic aspects of The Prodigy mixed with the aggression of Rage Against The Machine. In the hands of Resistor it becomes an explosive end-result. Beatcreator Dick Roseboom and guitarist Wietze Vink keep the whole mix tight as hell. Vocalist Dennis Jansen turns up the frenzy another notch. Bring The Heat? It's already here!" (FRET Magazine 2012)


With Resistor's self-named eclectic style of 'Rave 'n Rock' the October 2011 debut EP 'The Bastards Have Landed' [TBHL] is the result of going against the grain. A heavy mix of techno, rock, rap is combined with a live rock-vibe and high tech skills. (Full bio on www.resistor.nl/band)

With this record you can go two ways: either you think "Been there, heard that" or you like it . I agree with the latter. Yeah, we heard this somewhere 10-20 years ago, but still.. It's well mixed, tightly played and blasting from your car stereo it's a great wake up on your early morning commute.

Resistor creates Rave 'n Rock and they sure know how to deliver it. On stage they do what they are good at; bringing the house down. The front-man jumps up and down the stage and tries to give everyone a bit of his energy
