About Me


Who hasnt dreamed of obtaining a rash from rockstar excess? A majority of the band are currently applying corticosteroid creams twice daily to ensure the tour will be one to remember and not one of infection.
Understanding that two five and j came from a town in near radius to a nuclear power plant explains both their sterility and sound. The chemistry is powerful. Some of the songs on the current album Dichotomy took less that 30 minutes to write. However, many songs took weeks to record.
Writing mostly in a manic state the band prides itself on its bipolar nature. While every song have lyrics that intentionally have double meanings, and the album is a concept conceived by an unacknowledged bipolar mind. Dichotomy digs deep into a mind of confusion, anxiety, and hyper-creativity. Literally defined as two extremes existing at once Dichotomy is a conclusion on the struggles of an unsigned band.
Even with anticonvulsants the band continued to dive deeper into extremes. They pride themselves in being self-sufficient yet strive to do anything to promote community. They have constructed and marketed every aspect of the music, from obtaining their own studio to record the album, publishing their own website, doing their own videos, design, and promotion. However, isolation leads to reclusive nature, the worst thing for a depressant. The band understands this and for its own mental health they began to craft the blueprints of smart growth in the Hampton Roads area.
Artists in the area should move from the idea of breaking into the scene. This migration should stem the idea of the creation of a scene. Hampton Roads is at the breaking point of becoming a huge scene or being nothing at all. Recognizing this real life dichotomy, two five and j has begun to network with local painters, writers, and fellow musicians to start a scene that cannot be overlooked. The more artists thrown into the fire, the longer it will burn.
In any way possible the band would love to connect to the listener. Whether youre a fan, band, or business, two five and j wants to connect with you. Listen to the album and experience a concept that could be digital trash in two years. However, if you listen and the emotion is carried into you, the concept becomes reality.
