Forbidden 5

About Me

.......the songs are straightforward frankenpunk workouts with ghoulishly humorous lyrics and touches of distorted surf-guitar runs. The exceptions to this formula are among the album's most welcome diversions, such as the instrumental, Fang Boner, and the Kinky R&B of Slice and Dice.........-Aaron Jentzen Pittsburgh City Paper . . . . .A 5 piece rock n roll outfit from the sick South Hills of Pittsburgh with a dangerous obssession for 'B' horror movies. Call it garage, call it punk, or call it psycho-rock, The F5 sound is simple, raw and rockin. Look out for CHOP YOU UP!...the debut album from Forbidden 5.
