About Me

Formed in early 2004, 5th gear has been on the local rock scene so long for one reason - they put on one hell of a show! Preferring live gigs to studios, 5th Gear has been honing their stage and performance skills playing 4 nights a week covering rock songs you know and love from the 60's 70's 80's 90's and current. But their originals are just as powerful. They have written and released two original CDs available on all popular download sites including itunes. They play throughout Southern Florida at hot spots such as Dr. Feelgood's and Roxy's in West Palm Beach, Boston's and the Hurricane in Delray Beach, the Dubliner at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Whiskey Tango in Hollywood Beach as well as the Clevelander Hotel in South Beach Miami. ____________________________________________________________ _____ 5th Gear’s resume includes airplay of their songs "Crumble", "Long Day" and "Not Give In" on local top rated radio station 103.1 “the buzz” ____________________________________________________________ _____ If you're looking for a great rock n roll experience come out and kick it into 5th Gear! Available for all events public and private. booking contact 561-542-8810 ____________________________________________________________ _____ Press:"The local talent is certainly worthy of national exposure." Rag Magazine - Todd McFliker ____________________________________________________________ _____ "The songs feature a cool retro, yet modern hard rock vibe and contain good riffs and musical and melodic parts and memorable hooks. The strong vocal delivery suits the material very well. The musicianship is tight, solid, driving and fitting and the production sounds good overall." "Crumble has a "nice vibe, ambience about the track - with a real Southern edged melancholy about the melody..." Together in Vain's line "pawned just like jewelry, buyer beware' is a strong line, that people can relate to ... Very Skynyrd like riff, that's a real ass kicker..." About Great Sun, TAXI added, "way to bring on some AC/DC styled riffage to the party! Solid wall of groove, in addition..." Shot Down "has rocking guitars and a great message underneath it all. Nice work!" As far as for the band, it was added: "Thanks for the shot of some good time, whisky soaked, Southern tinged Mainstream Rock...I'll take it as it is, with a Coors Light for a chaser." - A&R @ Taxi.com ____________________________________________________________ _____
