Innovation, hard work and underground success: three words come to mind when you mention Oklahoma City’s own Fist of Five. In merely a year, Fist of Five has gone from playing beer covered floors in college bars to traveling all over the southern region sharing the stage in sold out crowds of thousands with National acts. Such bands include Universal recording artist Hinder, as well as Slaughter, Vince Neil, Quiet Riot, Warrant and Rikets
Fist of Five has broken out of their underground shell with the release of their 2006 EP, Broken Roses. This album was, engineered by JT Longoria (Guns and Roses, Burden Brothers, ICP) at Nomad Recording Studios in Dallas, TX, It has sold over 3,000 copies throughout the southern region oftheU.S.. Every track on the album has a story. From the pounding guitar riffs in Damage, to the operatic vocals in Phantom, and ending with the piano tribute When I Die Tomorrow dedicated to the fans and influences of the band, the album.
"If Broken Roses' says anything, it's that there is more to come. This EP screams, "Just wait motherfuckers. Just you fucking wait and see what we're going to do.â€
- Joshua Michael Torres/Hails & Horns Magazine
Rock shows are tipicly just loud music, mosh pits, and large crowds. Yet with an operatic feel, Fist of Five has taken these assumptions to another level adding aspects of the unusual. Intertwining classical theatre into their shows, you can only imagine the roar that comes forth as they go on stage. From intros featuring piano arrangements and symphonies to between song segments of smashing guitars and roses being launched like confetti, this Rock Opera has something for everyone to remember.
"All I can say is that you guys are fucking amazing."
- Medman, KWDQ FM
