Fifth Column
>> A hard rocking band we are!
Fifth Column (Holland) started out in late 2004. For those who don’t know; we actually are playing together since 1997. As a couple of (l.a.) farmers we began our journey with punk rock and were mainly influenced by bands like NoFX, Beatsteaks and MxPx.
As our musical interests develop all the time and songs often are completely diverse from one another, Fifth Column can only be described as a hard rocking outfit, with inside a mix of post-hardcore and stoner. The fragments in our songs can be related to bands like Thrice, Sparta, ISIS, Refused, At the drive in, Hot Water Music, etc.
Over the past few years we’ve done our show in various places, cities and countries (Germany and Belgium). Larger venues are for instance: Waterfront Rotterdam and LVC Leiden. On the other hand, the numerous vague and small venues were maybe the most enjoyable to play. Yes, we like our setting simple, crowded and loud!
The Fifth Column hideout is situated in Leiden. We share this place with our friends from Daily Fire, in which Stephan is playing as well since 2006. Like Stephan, Jeroen also plays in another band, namely Kinderen Tegen Kinderen.
Finally, we are always willing to play, anytime, anywhere! And because we are not an expensive band and try to give our best shot on every show, just see us!
