Resistance Records


Resistance Records is a record label owned by Resistance LLC which was closely connected to the organization National Alliance. It produced and sold music by neo-Nazi and white separatist musicians, primarily through its website. Advertising itself as "The Soundtrack for White Revolution," Resistance LLC also published a magazine called Resistance, of which Erich Gliebe has been the editor since 1999. The label is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The label is currently headquartered in Lufkin, Texas.

The label was founded in Windsor, Ontario in December 1993 by then-white supremacist George Burdi. George Burdi went by the name "George Eric Hawthorne" at that time. In January 1994 this music label was also incorporated in Detroit, Michigan. With the launch of a new music label came the new magazine Resistance. The magazine boasted a circulation of over 13,000 in 1995. This magazine is still published and distributed by the National Alliance. Among the acts signed to Resistance was Burdi's own RAHOWA (short for "Racial Holy War"), which disbanded after Burdi renounced neo-Nazism. The label's best-selling CDs have been by Bound for Glory and Angry Aryans.

Burdi was involved in a white supremacist street march in May 1993, during which he kicked a female anti-racist protestor in the face. Burdi was charged for assault causing bodily harm in 1995, and given a 12-month sentence. He was arrested after losing appeals and served time for the assault in 1997. Burdi's Canadian business partners, Jason Snow and Joe Talic, had taken control and ownership of Resistance in 1996. American manager Mark Wilson was later replaced by Eric Davidson (former editor of the North American edition of Blood & Honor), who had relocated from California to Michigan in January 1997.
