Resistance Records is a white power music label which produces and sells music by neo-Nazi musicians, primarily through its website. Advertising itself as "The Soundtrack For White Revolution," Resistance Records also publishes a magazine called Resistance Magazine, and is a subsidiary of the National Alliance (itself a subsidiary of National Vanguard Books, Inc).
The label was founded in Windsor, Ontario in 1993 by neo-Nazi skinhead George Burdi. In 1997 it was temporarily put out of business by a tax dispute and a prosecution for distributing materials that promoted hatred in Canada (Burdi was given a 2 year jail sentence). It was bought out by William Pierce, head of 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.
Resistance Records should not be confused with the Swiss based anarcho-punk record label Resistance Productions.
Resistance Records owns several smaller labels, most notably black metal labels Cympophane and Unholy Records.
