About Me

Since their inception in 2005, The Five Percent has recorded and toured relentlessly.
They’ve begun work on their fourth full length album, due for release in the summer of 2008. Their previous releases, 3483 Seconds of You Life, Our Life, and Making Some Sense of Today have collectively sold nearly 10,000 copies.
Their most recent recording has been heavily downloaded on itunes behind the strength of their work with Grammy nominated producer Jack Gauthier and guest vocalist Pete Francis from Dispatch. The song, We’re Ready for Anything, has received national air play and has been included on two fast selling compilations.
In 2007, the band performed in nearly 40 states, stopping in every major city including Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Charlotte and everything in between.
The band has been moving forward and gaining fans with each CD release and disc four promises to be the best effort to date with top notch guest musicians and the strongest songwriting yet.
