   About The 4/5s
The 4/5s

The Four Fives have been rehearsing and playing gigs in Glasgow and beyond since late 2005 and have steadily built up a fanbase and reputation as an exciting live act. They count Can, Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses, Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowksi and The Doors amongst their influences.

The band have played many venues in Glasgow and Central Scotland including the O2 Academy, King Tuts, The Arches, ABC2, and Edinburgh Liquid Rooms. They toured northern England in early 2007 playing at venues such as the Cavern Club and York Fibbers. Support slots have included Boy Kill Boy and Peter Hook (New Order).

The White Russian E.P. was released in January 2008 with positive reviews in The Skinny and the New Music Post and won Jim Gellatly’s Myspace Cadet on XFM. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album which is due for release this summer.

With a gig at O2 Academy (Next Big Thing), appearances at the Homecoming and Stereofunk Festivals and a number of shows lined up both north and south of the border, 2009 is set to be a big year for the band. Keep up to date with all that’s happening and contact the band at www.myspace.com/thefourfives. Buy the ticket, take the ride!

Review of White Russian E.P. by The Skinny Feb 2008

An atmospheric, almost psychedelic mantra.
The title track of this debut EP by Glasgow's 4/5s deservedly won a listeners' vote on XFM Scotland recently, and the rest of the songs show similar promise. Summer of Love and Bad Things are full of new wave bravado, baggy swagger and are laden with cool hooks, but it's on final track Omerta that the band truly excel. It's a bit of a departure from the straightforward indie rock of the other tracks, where space-age synth parts and spoken samples are thrown into the mix to create an atmospheric, almost psychedelic mantra that goes on for five minutes but could easily groove on for half an hour or more. Impressive stuff that hints at even better things to come.

4/5S - Review by NEWMUSICPOST 26/7/07

First song white russian is 4/5S strongest song and thats by no means a slight on the band, merely the pick of a fine bunch.

"White Russian" starts with a short spiralling lead, cascading against a somewhat hypnotic bass line backed up by a pounding tom beat . Strong vocals by Feeney are introduced here and through out. The change propels the song further with sound drum variation along the way. My only criticism is the closing of the song which sadly doesnt do it justice but i believe live it will be a real crowd pleaser. A rocking track, however with a few breaks in between to keep it bright and alluring for the ears.

"Omerta" I can only describe this as The Orb meets The Doors with the trippy atmospheric keys, bluesy bass and almost military style drumming. Here the band show an admirable distinction in styles and you cant help but warm to this track. We did................

"Summer of Love" Again McQuade and Forbes complement each other, a solid rhythm section indeed. Robbie produces a Sixties style guitar lead initially then beefs it up whilst, you can almost feel Feeney..s swagger through his confident vocals as they soar over the music below. There are lulls in the song that work well and shows 4/5s ability to mix it up.
