Converge Australian tour March 2010
Formed in Salem, MA in 1990, Converge is to modern metal what the Ramones were to punk, with albums like “Jane Doe” and “You Fail Me” considered touchstones of the genre. 2009′s “Axe To Fall” takes the band’s maverick attitude to new highs. Three years after the release of No Heroes, critics agree that metal and hardcore’s most aggressive band, has delivered one of the best albums of their career and one of the best metal/hardcore albums of the year.
March 2010 sees Converge return to Australia bringing with them Philadelphia’s enigmatic trio known as Genghis Tron. Tickets go on sale Dec 4.

Extortion “Loose Screws” pre orders
Arguably the most potent musical force Australian music has ever seen, Resist’s latest signing, Perth’s Extortion are set to launch a fresh attack on the senses with their latest balls-out thrash incursion, "Loose Screws". A 12-track effort set for a January 8 release on both CDep and 10" vinyl formats, Loose Screws pushes Extortion’s well-established power-violence sound to face-ripping new extremes. Recorded across three continents, the basic tracks were laid down at Polymorph Studios in Oakland, California by producer Dan Rathbun (Tragedy, His Hero is Gone, Talk Is Poison), then completed vocals in Perth at Bergerk! Studios, assisted by long-time producer Al Smith (Blkout!, Jaws, Clever Species). As one final flourish, UK-based celebrity Extortion fan, Barney Greenway of Napalm Death, added his unmistakable roar to the aptly titled ‘Grind To A Halt’.
Pre orders are now available from the Resist webstore for a limited colored 10" version of "Loose Screws".
