BLEEDER RESISTOR
"Sixteen"
cd
(br-034)
If the punk rock scene of the
last ten years will be remembered for one musical innovation,
it is the idea that pop and hardcore can be fused into
an incredible musical hybrid. BLEEDER RESISTOR
could bare comparison to such earlier bands such as
DAG NASTY, BAD RELIGION or 7 SECONDS,
while more modern day acts such as HOT WATER MUSIC,
and STRIKE ANYWHERE could also be heard. Their
new e.p. is a testament to those who long for high energetic
and melodic punk rock. 6 songs that get the heartpounding
and the chest pumpin'. Jeff Forbes, previously of DC
Hardcore standouts LATCHKEY, plays guitars, sings
and writes lyrics. Joey Nayls came on board is the summer
of 2004 to play bass after years with ROGER MIRET
& THE DISASTERS (Hellcat Records), Drummer Paul
Maniscalco's distinctive style, honed over his years
with ALL FALL DOWN creates a rythmic pathway
that Bleeder Resisitor follow straight to hell. Having
shared the stage over the last year with such notables
as THE LAWRENCE ARMS (Fat Wreck Chords), THE
SHAKEDOWNS (VMS Records), SIXER (BYO Records),
DIGGER (Hopeless Records), ANADIVINE (Militia
Group), ENSIGN (Blackout Records), RIVER CITY
REBELS (Go Kart Records), and TOXIC NARCOTIC
(Rodent Popcycle Records) it shows that the diversity
is unparalleled. Bleeder Resistor have managed to gain
notoriety at a level when most bands are only learning
how to play their instruments. Keep an eye out for plenty
of happenings and great things to come from this Baltimore
based band !!!
REVIEW:
"What's fast, aggressive, and sounds like a cross
between Kid Dynamite and The Lawrence Arms? Your answer
is the new Bleeder Resistor record. This is straight-ahead
hardcore/punk with pop sensibility. It's refreshing
to hear an aggressive band that isn't jumping on the
metal-emo-core bandwagon that seems to have plagued
the entire underground music scene. I'm one of those
people who misses the old Kid Dynamite, and hearing
a record like this satisfies my appetite-if even only
for a few minutes."
