Lo-Fi Resistance

Lo-Fi Resistance is a project of guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Randy McStine. Formed in 2009, Lo-Fi Resistance has released two albums with many different guest features. The first album, "A Deep Breath," features guest musicians such as Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard and Doug Pinnick of King's X. The second album, "Chalk Lines," featured Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin of Porcupine Tree, John Giblin of Kate Bush, and Dave Kerzner, of Sound of Contact.

McStine is also a member of many collaborative projects, including; In Continuum (a prog/symphonic rock group led by Dave Kerzner (keyboards, vocals) and also featuring Gabriel Agudo (vocals), Marco Minnemann (drums), Matt Dorsey (bass) and McStine (guitar)), McStine & Minnemann (with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Marco Minnemann), and The Fringe, a supergroup with Nick D'Virgillio (drums, vocals) of Spock's Beard, and Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals) of many Swedish prog bands including The Flower Kings and Kaipa and also as touring bassist for Steve Hackett.

In 2019 McStine did a tour as an opening act for The Pineapple Thief, a progressive rock band that then former Porcupine Tree collaborator Gavin Harrison on drums.

In 2022 it was announced that McStine and Nathan Navarro became the touring guitarist and bassist, respectively, for a reformed Porcupine Tree, replacing frequent collaborator, John Wesley, who didn't return to the band for personal reasons.
