Meet four mis-matched young individuals from East London that’ve spent the past 12 months shit-kicking their way through venues from Islington to Lewisham. There’s Tobias (the geetar-wielding out-metalling metaller), Dan The Carnivore (singer, manic dancer and firestarter), Ian (yelling bass player in charge of weird flashing boxes) and Mark (mad-eyed and maker of schizoid techno noise). They don’t want you to turn up and stare at your pints. They want you to get involved, raid the dressing-up box, dance and grin like loons to their irresistible screaming infernos. Oh, and that elusive fifth member? That’ll be the drum machine. Actually, they have four, all of which replaced a now-sectioned human one. Four, they have discovered, is too many to fit inside one Fiesta.
Influenced by The Jackson Five, MC5, The Furious Five (but, we’re guessing maybe not Five Star), they’re well deserving of the adulation that’s so far been poured on them, not least of all from Disorder faves Hadouken! in a recent blog entry;
“Wouldn't it be wicked if there was a band out there that combined the racy live feeling of British Indie rock with the digital square synthesis and 808 claps of Grime music? Hadouken tried it, but Bolt Action Five did it better.”
