Resz

A fans' opinion: I'm a little less than a full day removed from attending the latest Resz show. Having finally taken the time to look back, I have to say, without any bias or manipulation, that this is probably one of my favorite bands right now. Technical difficulties aside, the live show coupled with the intimacy of the venue gives both fans and the band a chance to get face to face and feed off each other. So here I stand, on the event horizon, waiting to see if this band will follow the path that I see in front of them (they have all the potential to exceed actually, but let's not put too much pressure on them just yet).

Adrian Guerra's vocal display becomes stronger every time I hear the band. As a front man, he shows definite star potential. His style is unique and his ability to push the crowd and the band seems to come naturally. I will be watching to see what he does next with great interest.

Phillip Hand has become a friend of mine. The Great Bearded Drummer, he always puts out a gut busting drum beat that can shake the marrow out of your bones. Every cymbal shot, drum beat, high hat seems calculated and nothing has been set out to be showy or overkill. The rhythm speaks for itself, and it's saying a lot. From hard and fast to smooth and slow, Phillip is the backbone of the Resz sound.


Pedro H. Soares guitarist of Resz is an awesome musician. He has a raw power and soulful sound to his licks that can be felt in the music. Unique in stature in comparison to the rest of the band, he more than makes up for it in sound and passion for music. If the drums are the backbone of the band, Pete's guitar is the muscular system that holds it together. Keep an eye out for more from this Brazilian guitar demigod.

Rick Pimentel, Resz bassist, rounds out the lineup. Hands down one of the easiest guys to talk to (and also having an awesome arsenal of kick ass t-shirts,) Rick's bass speaks volumes when on stage and his talent cannot be denied.

Their soon to be released first album, yet to be titled, is still in the oven. If I were you, I'd keep an eye out. You don't want to be left out and have to be Resz-cued later (I never said there wouldn't be cheese).

That's my opinion and really, it's the only one that matters.

Laters happy party people!

Formed in 2009, locally based band Resz, (winners of the 2014 Rockstar Energy Drink, UPROAR Festival battle of the bands) opened up the evening with a very formidable performance, starting their night off with a powerful original Denetwork… Denetwork is an authoritative & persuasive, potent & robust hard rocker with grungy backed influence. Denetwork, based around a dream guitarist Rick Pimentel had (while recovering from being ran over) about our social media age. A definite fan favorite and sure to be a hit single from these local based winners who have already garnered radio play on the local radio station(s) with demos alone! Resz continued rocking the crowd as if they were 20 year veterans of the industry. Playing their originals from their upcoming debut album Transverse Orientation, dropping this fall. Blowing the crowd away with Leave me for Dead; Till it Hurts & ending their phenomenal night with surefire fan favorite, Crosshairs. Frontman Adrian Guerra, climbed off the stage for some crowd interaction; walking through the photo pit, touching the hands of the front row fans as he passed by while making his way into the crowd itself and finding his way back up on stage to finish off the song. This photojournalists fingers are crossed that this band indeed wins the next round of the Rockstar Energy Drink, UPROAR Festival’s battle of the bands solidifying their spot for the whole tour next year! - Soundcheck411
