1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound? Who thought of the name “5fifteen" and is there any meaning behind it?
Individually we started very young in the early 2000s and some of before that playing in many bands throughout the years. we all have different styles and taste in music so the sound kinda comes from thst, like one song may be balls to the wall metal to some softer melodic sound like some Alter bridge. Our first drummer actually came up with the name, the meaning means alot to us and means alot of different things, like a new beginning or to party and have fun and not let the negative get in your way. We're all about having a good time and people see that on stage at our live shows.
2. What do you want people to take away from your music?
We want people to take what they want. Alot of the songs are personal to our own lives but it can have a meaning to whatever your going through.
3. How would you describe your sound to the average listener?
We're a melodic, we're a like heavy and everything in between like breaking benjamin meets trivium.
4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?
Breaking benjamin would be awesome, trivium, a day to remember and many others! We just like to have a good time whoever we're touring with and put on the best show we can.
