Established in 1996, Agonistic Resemblance hails from the heart of the delta region in northern California. A.R.'s all original material breaks musical boundries, by maintaining a heavy sound, that contains catchy rythyms and lyrics. Created as the brainchild of vocalist Nino DeLaRosa and guitarist Jeremiah Baldwin, A.R. puts forth an energy unparalleled by today's best touring acts. Together with drummer Jesse Rivera and bassist Matt Howell, A.R.'s hard hitting riffs and melodies are coupled with a precise timing only obtained by today's most professional musicians. "A.R. is a hip-hop driven, bouncy rhythm, bob your head and move your body style of music at it's peak, that gets the crowd both moving (dare I say dancing) and moshing at the same time. DeLaRosa drives the crowd attention and interaction with his constant movement, energy and passion for the music A.R. pumps out for each set. Along with the Heavy guitar tone, and intricate consistant bass lines, A.R. is quite an impressive showing for sure. These guys are a solid band without question. Always entertaining to see, and definitely worth a look, especially for those rap-core/metal fans." -Mario Perotti (founder, editor-in-chief, Powerslave.com
