This is the official F5 myspace - the guys are behind this page 100% and this is your direct link to the band F5. The band is based out of Arizona; all of the guys live in AZ except Jimmy lives in CA.
F5 mission is "to be heavy but always melodic". It all started in 2003, David Ellefson had worked with the singer, Dale Steele, as he produced some demo tracks for a band Dale was in Minnesota. David was also working with a group in AZ that included guitar player Steve Conley and drummer Dave Small. They all stayed in touch and in early 2003 Dave Small asked David if he wanted to come over and do some jamming with him and Steve. They did and within a couple of days they had already written almost half a dozen songs. They demoed them up, sent those to Dale in Minneapolis, he sang on them, sent them back and they just sounded amazing. So Dale moved down to Phoenix, where they continued to write; then they realized they needed to bring in another guitar player, and Steve knew John Davis. Within about three or four months time, F5 was formed. They started sending the music out to record companies and initially JVC in Japan was the first record company to come on board. They continued to write almost 30 songs and went in the studio in the spring (March or April) 2004, to record the album with producer Ryan Greene and Steve Smith as the executive producer. By early July the sessions were completed, they played a few concerts in Arizona and in California after that, the response was really good. The cd "A Drug for all Seasons" came out on JVC in Japan/Asia in July 2005. In August 2005 the cd came out on Mascot in Europe and finally in North America/ US on September 13th 2005. F5 toured the summer of 2006 across the US supporting their debut recording "A Drug for all Seasons". On March 25, 2006 the video for "Dissidence" was on MTV's Headbanger's Ball worldwide. Their DVD "Live for all Seasons" came out November 20th 2006 with footage of them live from the road and some behind the scenes with the guys.
October 3, 2007; F5 announced they were heading into the studio to start production on their sophmore cd with producer Ryan Greene (who produced thier debut cd). The band called in bassist David Ellefson’s longtime rhythm section cohort Jimmy DeGrasso to play drums on the recordings which follows the recent departure of original F5 drummer Dave Small. A worldwide release called "The Reckoning" was released in the US on August 19th 2008 through Oarfin Distribution/Koch, with hopeful tour to follow. October 7th, 2008; debut single "Nailed to the Gun" (cover tune from Rob Halford's band FIGHT ) right here on our myspace page. This track is not available on our lastest cd "The Reckoning" but will be offered online exclusively through iTunes soon! "The Recoking" being distributed in Europe late fall 2008.
