"Review: Resistor – The Bastards Have Landed EP ****"

The 'rave 'n rock' of Resistor clearly shows their musical influences; Rage against the Machine, Senser, The Prodigy in their better period, you find it all, with its own Resistor -sauce. 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. - Ekaya Magazine


"Review: Resistor - The Bastards Have Landed"

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!"

"Review: Resistor - The Bastards Have Landed"

“...the sound quality just explodes off this EP. It's clear that Resistor will easily blow away any venue they play.”

"Resistor knows how to get the attention"

Resistor knows how to get the attention. With a sound that is a cross-over between electro, hiphop, metalpunk it's like a fierce combination between the Prodigy and Rage against the Machine.

"Resistor Biton Festival photo-review"

With Resistors full sound you would expect a big ensemble instead of a three piece... The crowd is loving it. - 3voor12 Dutch Music Radio/TV/Internet network


"Resisor closing act WWW-Festival photo review"

Resistor is closing act of the day and brings a heavy mix of breakbeats, metal and raps. - Utrecht-Roxx Music ezine


"Resistor shows hard music can be party music"

It's a party in the Underground venue. 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

Underground venue 'tweets' during performance: "Resistor sounds like the Prodigy in overdrive" - 3voor12 Dutch Music Radio/TV/Internet network

(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)
