Too many melodic hard-rock bands come off as tepid pop bands dressed up with guitars, giving the genre a weak image and bad name.
However, Lakecity-based 5 Day Beginning pours a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll grit and guts into its stew of rock and melody.
Formed just a year ago, the band has written some truly impressive tunes. You can hear for yourself at www.myspace.com/5daybeginning.

5dB is band that is separating itself from the mold by writing songs that are catchy,hard-hitting and passionate. Formed in 2006, the band began writing and trying to find their sound. After a few line up changes the band was completed and Jeremy (Vocals and Guitar), Lou (Guitar), Travis (Bass), Shane (Drums) began fine tuning their mix of commercial friendly music and sticky, gritty and driving melodic-metal. 5dB writes and plays with intensity and bounce, "The key is to have people bouncing to our music right when they walk into the room" stated the Lou (Guitarist). With screamo/hardcore and all in between being the current flavor of the week, 5dB feels it"s a great time to be the kind of band that they are. "People are wanting something new and fresh. The current scene is all the same, all the bands wearing chic pants and playing the same music." says Jeremy (Vocals). When you combine the Raw Melodic sounds of Lou's guitar riff's, and the driving and weaving bass lines from Travis, the big, loud, and groove-oriented drums from Shane and the ripping vocals and accompanying guitar of Jeremy's, you get what 5dB represents....Power, Bounce and Emotion with lots of intensity." Straight out of the gates, "Eye" brandishes the kind of intensity and passion rockers have grown to appreciate from model melodic-rock bands like Mudvayne. Here, the vocalist perfects the balancing act of unfurling a voice that shows off the virtue of good, emotive singing while staying true to the unmatched expression of emotion via raw, jagged screams." (Jeff Nall-Florida Today). 5dB is already began to slowly but surely conquer and leave nothing but jaws on the floors where ever they go. The song "EyE" made www.epictunes.com "Track Of The Week". Receiving air-play on WRUF's Rock 104's "Locals Only" and "Dark Cloud Radio" (An independent online radio station that plays both signed and unsigned bands). A killer review by Jeff Nall of Florida Today.com, and article in "Brevard Live" ( A Local Melbourne Magazine). 5db has been booked with Trust Company, Future Leaders Of the World, Sore Eyes, Five Bolt Main, Bobaflex, and Element Eighty.5dB is a band on the verge.....ready to devour and conquer anything in it's way......Either get on or move out of the way!
