This is Graham Nixon, he runs Resist Records.

I shot this for J- Mag but never got to post it on my site. Graham has done a bunch for the Australian punk hardcore scene for a long time now. He has released small unknown artists and turned them into some of the biggest alternative bands in the country. One band you may of heard of is Parkway Drive………..?

For me Resist’s first release was a band from my home town, Found My Direction. Growing up seeing them play in crappy venues or peoples houses was something ill never forget. Then releasing other great Australian bands like Age Of Distrust, Life.Love.Regret, Last Nerve, The Deadwalk!, Just Say Go!, No Apologies, 50 Lions, Carpathian to name a few.

Most people within the punk hardcore scene know what he does for the industry, but there seems to be a load of people out there that take his time and effort for granted. Its a bit of a bummer when this happens but its always very rare.

If your ever in Newtown drop in and check out the store, there is loads of stuff to buy. Resist is located: Basement 294 King St, Newtown (next to Civic Video). Or hit up the website and webstore.

Also Graham was going to be a pro golfer before all of this………….
