Resistance is a three-piece D-beat stadium crust trio from Naarm/Melbourne featuring Jay Allen, Riley Strong and Slick Rodgers. These founding members range almost three decades in age difference, but share a combined five decades of songwriting and international touring in extreme musical genres.

The origins of Resistance are rooted in a shared love and interest in d-beat and the more recently coined stadium crust genres citing bands such as Tragedy, Wolfbrigade and From Ashes Rise as a starting point for song creation. In an era of limitless digital recording and releasing, Resistance have committed to a solid focus on the organic roots of live music and the grounding reality of 'in the room' instrumentation.

To celebrate the group's self-titled first studio album, Resistance stopped by Burning Bitumen for a special Studio 5 Live performance. Listen back to hear a special session and catch up with Kene and Leah.
