Earlier in 2005 LAGWAGON experienced the death of the bands original drummer Derrick Plourde. Resolve is an homage to the life of Derrick. As one of the first bands signed to FAT, LAGWAGON helped to define the musical focus of label, and in turn the genre of punk rock as a whole. Based on pure emotional reaction, the writing and recording of this album all came together in a few short months. The twelve songs on Resolve take the listener on an emotional trek filled with passion, power, and the melodious angst that LAGWAGON have become known for.
