Resistor Share Video for New Single "MUTT"

Long Island, NY quintet RESISTOR — Anthony Grambo [vocals], Anthony Conti [guitar], Ian Schneider [bass], Anthony Arce [turntables], and Peter Smith [drums] — channel the cocky bravado of O.G. nu-metal through a prism of 21st century hardcore spiked with DJ squeals and vitriolic spitting. 

They share the video for new single "MUTT."

"Lyrically, this track is about the struggles of growing up in a multi-cultural family and being not enough of either end for each individual side," says Schneider. "Being of two different ethnicities, it was always incredibly difficult to navigate the relationship between both sides of the aisle. Never enough of this for one side, never enough of that for the other, and always ending up as the 'mutt' stuck on the wrong side of both."

This is just the first taste of what Resistor have planned in the coming months...

Back in 2020, Conti initially met Grambo at a local skate park. They would regularly scooter and skate together because "the world had ended for a little while," as Conti puts it. Soon, the conversation turned to music. Their shared inspirations ranged from Kublai Khan TX to Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot, and they started to jam together. One by one, they eventually welcomed Smith, Schneider, and Arce to the fold.

Grinding to be heard, 2023's So It Begins EP picked up traction on DSPs, generating over 1 million total streams. However, Resistor really hit the ground running with the follow-up HEADCASE EP in 2025 produced by Randy LeBoeuf [The Amity Affliction, Bad Omens].They canvased North America on tour and performed everywhere from the Gathering of the Juggalos to the Inkcarceration pre-show.

Resistor are bringing a fresh fire to heavy music on their own terms.

"Whatever these songs mean to you is valid," Conti leaves off. "If they make you happy, that’s great. If they get you angry and punching shit, maybe you needed that to. It's open to interpretation. Whether you love it or hate, I just hope it's a sound you've never heard before."

"As a musician, one of the worst things you can do is to be 'middle-of-the-road,'"" concludes Schneider. "Nobody wants to hear the same style over and over again. So, we'd rather be polarizing instead of making everybody feel neutral. This is very special to us."

Indeed, Resistor live outside the neutral zone.
