How Resistor Stands Out in Hardcore Music Using TurnTables as Focal Point on New Album "Bite This!"

Hardcore music is more popular than ever in 2026, tahnsk to the success of artists like Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan, and Drain making waves in the culture of the music scene, and playing larger & larger venues year over year. But there is something that stands out about hardcore music today that is making it so popular. The heaviness and individuality is standing strong and connecting with fans.So what is this band doing to break through in that noise and become one of those unique hardcore bands that is going to make fans go crazy for them based on their heaviness, and their own unique identity. I could say bringing in a nu metal influence with turn tables, but that doesnt really tell the entire story.Anthony and Ian from the New Your "knuckle dragging wika wiki core" band Resistor join the Chord Progression Podcast today. Their new album, Bite This, is releasing on March 27th and we show you what makes their style of hardcore unique. On this episode, we talk about:- How Resistor is showing everyone who they are with Bite This, making the turn tables as much of a focus in their musical composition as the guitars, making them a focal point and not an accent piece.- The struggles of making the turn tables a focal point in their musical writing, from leaving space in the recording when their DJ Arce is unavailable, and the struggle to not fill out the song when it feels incomplete.- Why heavy music today isn't focused on being marketable, but now puts focus and success on an artists' unique style and songs.A great heavy music episode for you hardcore fans.
