The alternative pop rock sounds of The Five Percent reveals the art of a band that neither wallows in heartache and despair nor indulges in musical diabetes with bubblegum glitter. The nuances of The Five Percent’s songwriting contain sublime and seamless blends of perkiness and heartfelt sincerity. It’s the heart of real humanity beating at the core of this band’s music.

Says The Five Percent’s Neil Nicastro (guitar, vocals), “Music is emotion … it’s bliss, desire, frustration, hope, satisfaction.” It’s a musical philosophy shared by bandmates Matt Ralph, (lead vocals and guitar) Brian Keating (Bass) and T (drums).

That’s because these keenly aware musicians see a world of life and passion in each second that passes. Life is full of riches, and since life is their inspiration, so are the songs of The Five Percent.

Inspiration lies in “every single moment of the day, every song, sound, personal interaction …”

It’s no wonder The Five Percent has found the secret to merging accessibility and depth, originality and widespread appeal. The band has proven its mettle on the stage and in the recording booth.

Most recently, the band toured and recorded with members of Dispatch. “Throughout our four year existence, we’ve played across the country and back a couple of times, sold nearly 10,000 CDs and shared the stage with several national acts.”

Talent is a given. There’s no shortage of it here. But the real kicker is utter devotion to music. “Everything we own and have accomplished is because of music,” says Nicastro. “I want to write, record and perform with all my passion – with complete gratitude for those that appreciate it, yet free of expectation.” Again, his fellow Five Percent players echo his feelings 100 percent.

The bands latest release A Summer Sunday Morning at Dawn was released on June 13, 2009. Since then, the band has performed with Ryan Cabrera, The Gin Blossoms and Company of Thieves. The Five Percent will be performing around the northeast until the end of 2009 in support of the new album. Keep an eye out on their myspace for dates as they are announced.

I saw you guys listed in the paper with bands that are playing at Whistles on Sunday.

At least, I think it's this Sunday. Unless it was this past Sunday..

WHATEVER. I was excited and I thought maybe you guys would be, too, but probably not because you're all so famous. :D
