Bio
Resistant Culture is the development of extreme and tribal music that has weaved the indigenous flute, rattle, tribal drum, and chant into an organic and flowing tapestry with contemporary punk and metal. Resistant Culture's root structure extends deep from the tree of extreme music. In its original form going back to the late 1980s, the band was called Resistant Militia. It combined the arts of punk and metal to incite a new movement that fused dark heavy sounds with the politics of survival. Over the years, Anthony (the founder) has belted out hauntingly audible growls while being backed by many fleeting members. The current line-up consists of the following musical visionaries. For over a decade, Katina, a classically trained guitarist has brought a high degree of sophistication to the band. Thrashing hair, shredding leads, and incendiary tonedistinguish her as an axe-woman to rival the hordes of men. Since the late 90s, Rafa, a veteran avante-guard punk innovator has brought diverse musical elements on bass. In 2003, Ben Axiom, the anarcho-punk/metal influenced drummer was recruited. He thunders out an alternating barrage of machine-like blasts and traditional heart-driven punk beats. As the current line-up congealed and proved to be the most powerful and dynamic yet assembled, the late Jesse Pintado R.I.P. (TERRORIZER/NAPALM DEATH) a long time friend and former band-mate of Anthony, began writing, recording, and playing with Resistant Culture. He contributed on and off for two years before his tragic abrupt death in August 2006. The last contribution Jesse made to the world of music was the monumental long awaited Terrorizer follow-up release Darker Days Ahead. It was his recent involvement in Resistant Culture that laid the foundation for Anthony’s vocal performance on this historic album (after several years of silence Terrorizer has recently reformed and recorded a 2010 demo with Resistant Culture guitarist Katina Culture). Resistant Culture recently recorded a 2010 demo and has begun label shopping. Currently they're preparing for their Sacred Fire 2010 U.S. Tour to support the first pressing of 'All One Struggle' on clear vinyl, with a gatefold, and 24x36 full color poster and the third pressing of their 'Welcome to Reality CD'. Both releases are available at Seventh Generation Records and were funded by a co-op of international labels spanning the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and several European countries.
