The Resistance

The Resistance was an english band offering power pop a la XTC and formed by Mark Damron (vocals, guitar), John O'Leary (bass), Ian Reid (vocals, keyboards) and Martin Saunders (drums). Saunders later played in Funhouse, a short lived band named after The Stooges track and formed by members of Another Pretty Face, including future Waterboys founder Mike Scott. The Resistance released two 7" singles, 'Kidnapped' (1979) on Maquis Records and 'Survival Kit' (1980) on Fontana. Fontana tried twice with this release issuing it again a year later in a different picture sleeve.
