Randy McStine is an American guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. In 2009, he formed the solo project Lo-Fi Resistance, which has released three albums, with various guest musicians. The first one, A Deep Breath, features Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard and Doug Pinnick of King's X. The second album, Chalk Lines, includes Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin of Porcupine Tree, John Giblin, and Dave Kerzner of Sound of Contact.[1] The third, a digital-only release titled The Age of Entitlement, came out in 2014.
McStine plays guitar with In Continuum, a prog/symphonic rock group that includes Dave Kerzner (keyboards, vocals), Gabriel Agudo (vocals), Marco Minnemann (drums), and Matt Dorsey (bass).[citation needed] He has recorded two albums with Minneman as McStine & Minnemann, and he plays with the Fringe, a supergroup that includes Nick D'Virgilio (drums, vocals) and Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals).[citation needed]
In 2019, McStine toured as an opening act for the Pineapple Thief.[2]
In 2022, it was announced that McStine and Nathan Navarro became touring guitarist and bassist, respectively, for a reformed Porcupine Tree,[3] replacing frequent collaborator John Wesley.[4]
