The Five: Surf/Instro Band from Australia

We're a band from Brisbane, Australia playing surf/instro music that we describe as "Link Wray fistfighting Dick Dale in a falling elevator with Davie Allen at the controls." Perhaps a little bit of over-sell - but you probably get the idea...

This week we've just released our Debut (and Farewell) EP. It comes as 5 tracks on 7" vinyl, 10 tracks (including the 5 from the 7") on CD, plus access to another 5 download only tracks available from our website.

As you may have guessed the number 5 is very important to us. We are a 5-piece band, we are only going to play 5 shows, and we are releasing a 5-track EP. Then we're calling it a day!

Brandonio from the Rock is Dead RIP blog has just reviewed our EP, writing: "Taking parts of the traditional surf/instro realm along side 60's fuzz guitar a la Davie Allan and the Arrows/ Link Wray you get a melting aural assault that few bands as of late truly capture.... My first thought when hearing The Five was that they really must admire Huevos Rancheros, and Ramblin' Ambassadors or maybe even The Blue Stingrays [You know that band that consisted of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers] Yes folks this EP is that good."

If you visit our website ( www.thefive.com.au ) you can get more info and maybe even order a copy of the EP!

Of course you can also head over to www.myspace.com/thefivebrisbane to hear the tracks as well.

Or if you love bits and bytes you can even buy the tracks from iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/for-five-nights-only/id351095001.

All the Best,
