Song Of The Week: 7/10/16







Song: "Aside"

Artist: Resistors

Album: "Drag"

Year: 2015

Place Of Origin: Brooklyn, New York

Years Active: 2011-present



WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

"Aside" appears to be a song about the vocalist thinking about all of the regrets he has in his life. The question is, do you pick yourself up and move forward or do you let your past mistakes continue to haunt you and affect decisions you make in the present and the future. It's a struggle within himself. Keep plugging away and step aside and give in.

RESISTORS DISCOGRAPHY (Full length albums only):

2012 - Conditioned (Self Released)
2013 - Breaking Tradition (Self Released)
2015 - Drag (Aces & Eights Records)

CURRENT STATUS OF RESISTORS:

Formed in 2011, Resistors is very much the brainchild of vocalist Scott Wolff. As he gathered more and more songs together, he realized it was time to form a band to get his music out. The band self released their first two albums, 2012's "Conditioned" and 2013's "Breaking Tradition". In 2015, the band signed on with Aces & Eights Records and released the album "Drag". Resistors' style is very much related to 90's melodic hardcore punk. If you listen to bands such as 88 Fingers Louie, Good Riddance, Bad Religion, Strike Twelve or Sic Waiting, then you'd get a feel for the sound of Resistors. There isn't a whole lot of news out there about this band. I assume they are still trying to establish themselves in the local New York punk scene but judging from their songs, especially those on their "Drag" release, they should be a staple in any melodic hardcore punk fan's catalogue.
