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.
