The story of Five Star Convoy began in the late summer of 2005 in a small city in the deep south of Sweden, called Hässleholm. Stoffe (guitar-boy) and Hilmer (guitar-boy and lead singer-boy) had invited their friends Freddan (bass guitar-boy) and Klackan (drummer-boy) for a jam at their rehearsal-spot, Rockluckan. It turned out really good and after a numerous of jams they started to find their musical direction, influenced by bands like Black Sabbath, QOTSA and Fu Manchu. Songs were being written and a 3-track demo was recorded. The demo was given a really positive reception and the quartet kept writing songs and began to play more and more shows. They decided to record a second demo and chose four songs for the purpose. Shortly after the finishing of this recording, Stoffe and Klackan decided to leave the band. The future of the band was now uncertain, but in this dark hour a new drummer-boy, El Esteban, turned up and he joined the convoy immediately. With El Esteban on board they were back on track again, this time as a power trio, with enough of new material to record a full length album, which will also happen, some time during this summer…
