about
The band was formed in 1979. The original 5 band members were: - Ian 'Oddy' Hodson Vocals Kieron Egan Vocals Guy Naylor Guitar Gary Naylor Drums Mick Clarke Bass Band names were discussed and originally 'The Anti Heroes' was chosen, which at a later date was changed to Resistance 77. We decided on the name Resistance 77 because we were playing a style of music more associated with '77 than with the stuff at that time which was thrashier. Our first gig was in November 1980 at South Normanton Miners Welfare. Bricks in Brixton became our first release on the compilation L.P. 'Riotous Assembly'. The nowhere to play E.P. was released in late November 1982 and sold 3000 copies. The E.P. spent 11 weeks in the 'Sounds' Punk Charts peaking at Number 5. In 1983 Guy Naylor on guitar left the band and was replaced by Marc 'Luggy' Ludlam. Soon after the line up change we released a couple of tracks on 'Rot Records' compilation L.P. called 'Wet Dreams'. The line up at this stage consisted of: - Ian 'Oddy' Hodson Vocals Kieron Egan Bass/Vocals Marc 'Luggy' Ludlam Guitar Gary Naylor Drums This was soon followed by the release of the 'Vive Le Resistance' E.P. The same line up went on to record the classic album Thoroughbred men and was then released in 1984. The album received good reviews getting 4 stars in 'Sounds'. In 1988 our new drummer Paul 'Mushy' Marshall replaced Gary Naylor. We did some sell out gigs in 1988 and got through to the final of 'The National Battle of the Bands' competit
