Jason Bennett & the Resistance worked with producer Benny Grotto in Mad Oak Studios to release a 7-song EP entitled Heavy Weather on 27 September 2016 with The Levellers at Brighton Music Hall.  With a new line-up featuring Jeff Swann on Lead Guitar, Aria Rad (fmr. Radicals) on bass, and Matthew Bulmers Trainor (fmr. Radicals) on drums, the band’s new release takes a no-holds-barred approach to politics and passion. The music departs from earlier recordings by incorporating the influence of Elvis Costello-like melodies and harmonies with Bennett’s renowned Strummer-sounding vocals.

Inspired by the past but looking towards the future, Nick And The Adversaries are in the here and now..... Love all 60's Mod, Soul/Motown, The Jam, Elvis Costello, The Specials, The Smiths, Brit Pop and some more recent indie from both sides of the pond. Writing songs informed by the above, and from our own experiences as musicians and citizens of planet earth. NATA is: CORKY EVANS- Drums and Backing Vocals/ STEVE FOOTE - Bass/ BEN KETTLESON- Keyboards and Backing Vocals/ NICK BACON- Vocals, Guitar /And Occasionally Featuring Special Guest Star Appearances by the one and only Mr. Alex Stern
