Resistor

Resistor arises from the Dutch ‘lowlands’ in 2005. The formation of three, a beat creator, guitarist and front man, create a challenging mix of techno, rock, rap and electro that doesn’t go un-noticed. The stomping beats, wicked riffs and instigating lyrics on their first demo-tape get’s Resistor a publishing deal that delivers their beat creations directly to Japanese Club Dj's via the Sony UK Toryumon project.

Outside the band the members are widely active as well. Beat creator Dick Roseboom is ‘sound engineer’ for Japanese rock band ‘Electric Eel Shock’ on their European tour with the Bloodhound Gang. As Front man Dennis Jansen and guitarist Wietze Vink have an acting-role in the Dutch Horrror movie ‘Doodeind (Dead End)’ . The two also record the single “ Tear it Apart” for the movie (which was produced by Roseboom).

 At the end of 2007 the band plays a couple of successful showcases. A review from Dutch media, TV and radio program VPRO'S 3VOOR12:

“The ‘rave and rock’ band Resistor knew how to get the attention! With a crossover mix of rock, hip-hop and electro it sounded like a clash between Rage against the machine and The Prodigy. Great underground grooves.”

To perfect their ‘live-set’ the band hits the studio and in the summer of 2008 they re-surface to rock the foundations of the WWW-Festival. With their explosive sound, groove and intensity they record a well received 3-track demo (with the tracks: Resist or Die, High Voltage en Thundementalism) that will get National airplay on Last FM and Talentcast.nl, amongst others.

Early 2009 Resistor plays with Industrial band ‘Project Pitchfork’ and steps into the Sellaband-project. This bold music initiative makes the band ‘Artist of the week’ immediately. Musically Resistor is ready, they make the next step and join forces with management-duo Frank Hulshoff and Peter Lambooij, who worked with rock bands Wasted (nl) and Electric Eel Shock (jp).

Resistor is Rave ‘n Rock! Resistor is Beat creator Dick Roseboom, Guitarist Wietze Vink and messenger Dennis Jansen. Resistor guarantees a wild night full of energy and excitement that will blow away any dance and rock fanatic! ...Resist or Die!
