Session

Session delivers his rhymes as if the next word he spits will make your brain explode. Forceful and deliberate in every sense, this Hartford, CT bred, Bronx native MC forces you to watch while he playfully makes every beat his bitch. Initially discovered by PMD of the legendary Hit Squad crew (EPMD, Redman, Keith Murray, Das EFX) at the age of 18, Session has been slowly developing under the radar into a conceptual monster of mythic proportions, set to storm the scene to the sound of collapsing buildings and the screams of those who slept.

Resistance 77

The band was formed in 1979. The original 5 band members were: - Ian 'Oddy' Hodson Vocals Kieron Egan Vocals Guy Naylor Guitar Gary Naylor Drums Mick Clarke Bass Band names were discussed and originally 'The Anti Heroes' was chosen, which at a later date was changed to Resistance 77. We decided on the name Resistance 77 because we were playing a style of music more associated with '77 than with the stuff at that time which was thrashier.

Editor

There two bands with this name: 1) História skupiny Editor sa dá rozdeliť na tri etapy.
Prvou etapou je obdobie od vzniku skupiny v roku 1988 až do roku 1993. Počas tohoto obdobia skupina vydala štyri demo kazety a jej tvorba sa dala jednoznačne zaradiť do thrash metalovej škatuľky.
Druhou etapou je obdobie od roku 1994, kedy skupine vychádza prvý oficiálne vydaný album "Shut Up!", na ktorom sa skupina predstavuje už nielen vo svojej typickej thrash metalovej podobe, ale svoju hudbu obohacuje aj o prvky hardcoru a punku.
