Formed in January 2000 by guitarist Aki Ishibashi and drummer Howard Alper, The Radical Thought Resistance or simply “RTR” forges a fresh Hard Rock sound by combining elements of Electronica with heavy guitar riffs, soulfull vocals and socially conscious lyrics. RTR vocalist Freedom Bremner, added to the lineup in 2001, has worked with Moby, singing lead on “At least we tried,” which can be found on Moby’s CD “18." Freedom was also a two time finalist on CBS Television's "StarSearch", where he electrified the nation with his soulful renditions of Sting's "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" and The Doobie Brothers "Long Train Running." As a result of Star Search, Freedom released a single named "Cuddly Toy" on A&M records in May 2004.
