ARTIST: Resistors
ALBUM: "Conditioned"
YEAR: 2012
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Tampa, Florida
YEARS ACTIVE: 2012 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Caged" appears to be a song about someone in particular, or perhaps like a whole government or something who maybe isn't oppressive, but they are not progressive for sure. They are stuck in their ways and they don't budge but the will of the people will force change. So this person or government can be with the people or against them. If they are against them, the people will rise.

MY THOUGHTS ON RESISTORS:
Resistors formed as a band back in 2012, hailing from Tampa, Florida. The band self-released their first full length studio album in 2012, called "Conditioned". Sticking with the DIY method, they also self-released their sophomore album, "Breaking Tradition", in 2013. Resistors signed with Aces & Eights Records for their third release, "Drag" in 2015. The band's last full length would be 2018's "Rational Policy For The 19th Century". Since then, the band has released some EP's and has been putting out some cover songs recently as well. The band almost broke up once.. maybe twice.. but they are still alive and kicking, touring and releasing music. Resistors jokingly says they are often compared to Good Riddance, Rise Against and Bad Religion, except without all of the success! I tend to agree with them. Their style is definitely an ode to that 90 skate punk style. In 2021, the band re-recorded their "Conditioned" album, calling it "Re-conditioned" and adding one track. These guys are very underground, but if you are into that 90's punk vibe, these guys would be right in your wheelhouse. Good little underrated punk band.
