The Fifth has taken over the Jersey shore rock scene; following in the footsteps of such greats as Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band , Bon Jovi , and many others. This fierce female-fronted foursome will not be denied their place in Rock 'n' Roll history. The chemistry between the members of The Fifth is a melting pot of influences and is the backbone of their music.
Zeppelin, The Ramones, and Blondie (to name a few) are embodied in the freewheel creative spirit that is "The Fifth". Their eclectic sound is a combination of rock, punk, & dance delivering an energy force onto any world stage.
Sönzená, The Fifth's first full-length album captures the band's bold evolution into a true rock instrumental powerhouse. "Compositionally Unique" is an apt description for The Fifth's first album, something that sets the tone for everything else that's yet to come.
It takes only a few seconds to recognize that The Fifth is something totally different. Their collective performance is so raw, so stripped to the bone, that it is impossible to ignore. Their purpose is to have fun, explore rock n' roll and share an engaging, hi-energy performance that connects with the audience.
Just put on their music and play it LOUD!
