(1997-1999)
Meaning
bandname: Resent
History: From the ashes of
the band LARGO arose RESENT. LARGO lasted from the beginning of 1997 until
November 1997. Their
drummer quited after their third concert. In the beginning of 1998 LARGO started
again, after Jaap's discovery of a new drummer; Menno. The sound of the band
changed very much so we decided to change the name to Resent.
Lyrics:
Personal
but also socially critical.
Description:
Jaap had a classical guitar/noise (Today is the day, Shellac) background, René
was into hardcore (Heroin, other emo stuff), Menno liked metal like Helmet.
Together we played complex, distinctive song, wich contained elements of each
bandmembers' influence.
