Bryan Essing played drums in Blitzspeer. In July 2004 he teamed up with former 25 Ta Life bassist Dave Urban and formed a project called Resurge.
The New Jersey-based group, whose lineup is completed by vocalist Chris Reece and bassist Rob Grove, launched their official web site at www.resurgemusic.com in November 2004 and shortly after commenced working on a new three-song demo with producer Matt Clark (Godhead, Marcy Playground, Freakhouse).
January 2006 saw Bryan Essing reunite with the original lineup of hardcore band Faction Zero.
