The Resistors is a blues-based band located in northern Illinois. Although the name came about by chance, it seems to fit guys who resist taking ANYTHING too seriously. Asked, what kind od music they play, Keith says "We ain't country and we ain't rock." Which, to them, is a combination of all the influences they bring to the band: rock, blues, folk, and country. Our weaknesses are really our strengths: in an attempt to sound like other bands, we found out we didn’t, and we discovered OURSELVES. No matter what song we play, we put our own mark on it and it becomes a Resistors song.” The Resistors like cars, bikes, guitars, caffeine, and playing together. You’ll find the Resistors parked in one of Keith’s street rods at the corner of Jimmy Reed and Johnny Burnette. What’s this mean? Well, they resist definition.
