La Resistance (band)
La Resistance is a rock band from Birmingham, Alabama whose debut release "Philosophy" was released on February 11, 2011. The band was formed by Greg Summerlin, who is the primary songwriter, vocalist and guitar player for the band. Other band members are Wil Drake on drums, Jake Blount on bass and Erin Tumlin on background vocals and keyboards. The song has been described as everything from post punk to danceable space pop among other things. Their debut album has received much critical acclaim and the band has received coverage in many influential music blogs including Magnet, Blurt, My Old Kentucky Blog, Popmatters, Under the Radar, KEXP.org, Allgigs (UK) and many others. It also spent weeks in the College Music Journal (CMJ) charts.

The band will be releasing an EP in the summer of 2011 that will include songs from some of their favorite bands from the UK in the 80's including Echo and the Bunnymen, Gang of Four, New Order, Jesus and the Mary Chain and Joy Division. Although La Resistance includes these bands as major influences, bands as diverse as The Flaming Lips, Beck, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Gorillaz are also cited as influencing the band's music.
