"Described as the fresh new sound of Seattle, The Resistanse's self titled debut album is refined progressive rock, with an eclectic blend of epic folksy grandeur, and a hard rock sensibility. This music is very raw and energetic, yet perplex and sophisticated."- Rick Danks owner of The Vortex Studios in Mukilteo, WA - Rick Danks

Bio
If there's one word that describes our music, it's balance. We can be complex and sophisticated, or straightforward and edgy. Our music is a direct reflection of the personalities in the band. On some occasions we've been called a bunch of humble, soft-hearted individuals who in contrast love to rock it out!
The band in itself is also well balanced when it comes to culture and gender. Helen and I are both Filipino-Americans, whereas Gretchen and Ian are both European- Americans. I personally believe that music is a powerful gift that can connect deeply with someone on a spiritual level, as it also brings people together of all walks of life.
The band members met initially as friends going to a music school or conservatory to perfect our skills. Ian and myself are graduates of Musicians Institute of Hollywood California, and I met Helen and Gretchen at the Shoreline CC Music Department.
Some of our influences are but not limited to The Cranberries, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Muse. As much as we love our influences, we always try our best to be ourselves when performing, play to the best of our abilities and to entertain!
Sincerely,
Julando Samson
