about
There are at least two bands called The Resistors. 1. The Resistors from West London, United Kingdom, started in 2006-2007 when Karl and Ed began writing and recording the project in their studio. It didn't take long for them to recruit friends Geoff and Seb to take the band live. Previously, Ed and Karl had been in Elviss, formed in 2002, who did several U.K. tours, headlining and supporting bands such as U.S. acts Stonesour, The Murderdolls, The Vandals and U.K acts Pitchshifter and Feeder. Elviss split up in 2005. The Resistors are: Karl - Vocals, Ed - Guitar, Geoff - Bass and Seb - Drums. 2. The Resistors were a ska band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 1979 by keyboardist Tim McStay and guitarist Paul O'Raghallaigh after they had left The Noise Boys. They debuted with the track 'Service With a Smile' on the Dublin compilation LP 'Just for Kicks', which became legendary because it features a very early U2 track. With vocalist Peter McEvoy, bassist Valentine, drummer Brian Curran and guitarist Pat Hamilton, The Resistors released their 'E.P. for Jeanie' in 1980, but due to its lack of success they folded at the end of the same year.
