Resistor - Rise (Remixed and Remastered 2024) (2024) [Official Digital Download]

RESISTOR is the rock quartet of Steve UNRUH, Fran Turner, Barry Farrands, and Rob Winslow. The band's sound is characterized by merging modern progressive and rock song structures with an organic classic rock sound. Their classic rock sound is probably due to their preferred recording technique of having everyone play the basic tracks in the same room at the same time, like bands did the "old days." This allows RESISTOR's recorded music to "breathe," as you can hear the band members adjust to each others' energy, tempo, and feel in real-time.

Personnel personal history: Steve Unruh is a prog-folk multi-instrumentalist with several solo albums of adventurous acoustic-oriented music. (Steve's ProgArchives page is at this link: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1632.) RESISTOR began life in 2005 when Steve decided to play more electric guitar, and started spending lunchtimes jamming with fellow electronic engineer and friend, Rob Winslow (bass). Rob had developed his trademark "groovy feel" by playing in bands of many different styles for years, but had never been professionally recorded. After several months of lunchtime jams, Steve and Rob heard through the company grapevine that the maintenance electrician was a good drummer, so they contacted him. Barry had actually quit playing drums a few years prior, but said he felt a gaping hole in his life where music used to be. So, upon hearing of an opportunity to jam over lunchtimes, he auditioned with Steve and Rob. When Steve and Rob heard Barry play the drums, they were stunned at his energy and skill, and a rock trio was formed. They spent lunchtimes jamming for the next year, and Steve began composing original music for the trio. Some of these songs eventually became the basis for RESISTOR's first album. The trio's skills were gradually getting better, but they all felt the music needed another layer.
