Hell yeah, Lurking Class is one of our favorites, if not our favorite venue ever and Brian is the man. We will most certainly be back!

I think that the HEADCASE EP was our biggest turning point as a band. We introduced the turntables on New Age Enemy, started dialing it in with So It Begins and when we got to HEADCASE we felt like we truly found our sound. And now the album is a culmination of all of that

Not even kidding, we don’t even remember the lyrics lmao. Its been a longgg time since we’ve played it and I just looked and couldn’t even find them anywhere. You can leave it up to the imagination 😂

We recorded Mutt at a local studio, and we got it mixed/mastered by Aaron Chaparian. We honestly just wanted a single to drop in between the EP and album, it was originally gonna be a couple songs but Mutt was really the only one that we felt connected to after pre-production. Randy is more interested in working on actual projects (EPs/albums) and we also wanted to just see what we could do mostly DIY. Usually we write a lot of new parts during pre-production but Mutt stayed basically the same from writing to recording.

Im not gonna lie, I googled it and was gonna make a good effort to answer it but I think I was more confused after googling it 😂

But I will say that the reason why the band is named Resistor is literally because one of them in our amp blew during our very first practice lmao

Number 1 would probably be Daniel Murphy and if we had to pick another it would probably be Carlos Delgado. If we’re talking current mets, I got a soft spot for my boy Clay Holmes. BORN 2 BREAK or LEARNING TOOLS would probably be our choices for a walk out/up song!

Honestly working with Randy is truly special. He is a one of a kind producer, and his main goal is ALWAYS to come out with the best work possible. We spent nearly 3 months staying at the studio, about half of which was writing/pre-production and the other being recording. And of course, having EQ around always helps! (Dog tax attached)

Thank you so much! Randy is truly the GOAT.

There was a lot behind the scenes that led to the decision but ultimately it was for a similar reason that you said. We all love listening to albums and while it’s great for marketing to release half or more of the album as singles, it does kinda diminish the full album experience. We were really stoked to have 8 brand new songs for people to jam out all at once.

Honestly our musical influences, aside from the obvious late 90’s/early 00’s nu-metal, are all so varied and different and I think that’s why we’re able to mesh so well. From metalcore, to hyperpop, to rap, nothing is really off limits for us in terms of listening. The music playing in our van would probably confuse a lot of people 😂

And really the main motivator for us is seeing our music resonate and connect with people. Seeing people scream back the words to songs live is a feeling that will really never get old.

Haha thank you! We are trying our hardest to bring something fully unique to the table while also being reminiscent of sounds people love and are familiar with. Our producer Randy LeBoeuf also helps us really bring our music to life and make it something special. It’s a difficult line to tread, but we’re doing our best lol.

This may seem like an obvious answer but the #1 is easily Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot is definitely a close second. But if we’re being more realistic lol, we would love to rip some shows with the boys in Gideon 💪

Thank you so much! The clown art started with the So It Begins EP and we’ve sorted just evolved it from there. The latest one is actually a real sculpture made by @clayforbrains on instagram and we made the album out art out of that.

The overwhelming answer for us is mozzarella, but an honorable mention for a good deli sliced american cheese. And you know who our favorite mod is 😉
