(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.

Line-Up: Jaap Olthof (guitar & vocals), René Beukers (bass), Menno Robberegt (drums)

Jaap – Yphobia, Largo, The Last Mile
René – Yphobia, Larry Speaks, Office Killer, Largo, The Last Mile

Tours & Concerts: The first concert was on a weekend tour to 2 squats in Gent in Belgium and Lille in France. This tour was arranged by Grotieme from Katastrophobia, many thanks to him. The following show was in hometown Groningen, in Vera. This was to be our final performance. Jaap left for Norway to live with his girlfriend. Menno went to live in Amsterdam. René continued to play guitar in Office killer.
