The Five Techniques Release Their First Single Featuring Róisín El Cherif and Paul Weller

      It's titled 'Resistance In The Dark'...

      03 · 12 · 2025

      The Five Techniques have released their debut single ‘Resistance in the Dark’.

      The project is led by producer David Holmes, a highly regarded figure in the studio who has been a significant collaborator. The Five Techniques was formed after Gig For Gaza, an impressive multi-artist event organized by Paul Weller.

      The new single ‘Resistance in the Dark’ is now available, blending analogue electronics with psychedelic soundscapes, infused with a Middle Eastern influence.

      Irish-Palestinian artist Róisín El Cherif delivers haunting vocals that carry profound emotion, expressing, “If my voice should falter, yours will remain.”

      Paul Weller also lends his support, making ‘Resistance in the Dark’ a powerful piece of passionate pop music.

      Cherif states, “From Naji Ali to today’s Children of Gaza, Palestine embodies the struggle of a people’s quest for freedom. The freedom to be born free in your homeland. For Palestine, our cherished land.”

      Paul Weller adds, “This is our response to the ongoing land appropriation, displacement, and genocide of the Palestinian people by the oppressive Israeli government. We aimed to demonstrate our solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine, as they continue their fight and resistance. This struggle belongs to all individuals denied their rights.”

      Matt Bonner produces the artwork, while Douglas Hart creates the video – similar to his work for the previous Primal Scream tour, the clip comprises a montage of the devastation wrought by war.
