Five Degrees Of Outer Influence

About Me


Five Degrees [Evan, 21 (Leadvocals); Moritz, 21 (Leadguitar); Daniel, 23 (Rhythmguitar); Pascal, 19 (Bass); Martin, 21 (Drums)] formierten sich Ende 2002 in Velbert und wurden von Beginn an von der örtlichen Musik & Kunstschule unterstützt.
Anfang 2006 endete diese Kooperation mit dem Einzug in einen neuen Proberaum in Wuppertal. Seitdem steht die Band auf eigenen Füßen, ist nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch geistig gewachsen und beruflich sowie vor allem menschlich weitergekommen.
Eine Band, die Spaß an der Musik („Her Name is Rock´n´Roll“) und an ihrem Leben („Your Life To Live“) hat, will ihre Philosophie in die Welt tragen. Ihre Musik prägen dabei fünf Menschen, fünf verschiedene Einflüsse, fünf verschiedene Charaktere, Five Degrees eben. Vom Stil her bewegt man sich im Bereich Alternative Rock mit Pop-, Progressiv-, Hardrock und Funk-Einflüssen. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail wird dabei aber die Massentauglichkeit eines jeden Songs nicht vergessen. Textlich stehen dabei Themen wie Freundschaft, Liebe und der Sinn des Lebens im Vordergrund. Das Repertoire der Band umfasst 18 Eigenkompositionen, die auf bisher 39 Auftritten präsentiert wurden!
