The Fifths

About Me



'' Formed early 2007, The Fifths are a all 19 year old, Manchester-based indie alternative band creating their own, very individual sound. The Fifths’ music, with its stripped-down bluesy riffs and astutely observational lyrics, is the sound of youth in the city. The listener is taken to the heart of Manchester, and the raucous live shows more than live up to the city’s musical heritage.
'Catch Me If You Can' @ JAMM in London
The Fifths, through hard work and not to mention great tunes, have developed a good reputation in Manchester; playing well-known venues such as Manchester Academy 3, Night and Day, Liverpool Barfly and a headline slot at Manchester club night Plastic Surgery along with a support slot with Rock and Roll legend MANI at JAMM club in London. They are now keen to bring their off-beat sound, and unique take on life further afield. With their style changing rapidly at the moment be sure that their sound is developing into something a little more original than the music we are all used to hearing.'' MyGen Profile Generator
