"The Newbies: Five Second Rule"

Every day I hear of a new band in Sacramento. Gina, listen to this band, Gina check out our band, Gina, ever heard of this band? It’s hard to keep up! I like to think that I know of a lot of the Sacramento bands but GASP, occasionally I am thrown a band from left field and find myself impressed. This is what happened with Five Second Rule. I can’t remember now who told me about these guys, or maybe I was just wandering around the house of hits and stopped by their door. Either way, I thought they were good. So I went to a show or two and they just kept getting better. I recently saw them play at The Underground with Forever The Sickest Kids and managed to track down their singer Myles and bass player Chris….

Fringe: You guys are a pretty new band to Sacramento, but seem to have gotten yourselves off the ground fairly well. Where do you see the band progressing in the next few years?

Myles: Well, within the next few years we hope to have a growing fan base, lots of songs that capture the attention of our audiences, and hopefully have the backing of a record label.

Chris: I don’t think it’s crazy to have the idea of being on a major label. We are always striving to be better musicians. We are staying really focused, and are working harder then ever. I think a lot of bands go wrong by not worrying about being entertainers, But if you have ever been around our band you know we are entertaining with or without an instrument.

Fringe: I was doing a search online for you guys and found a bunch of scientific studies about the "5 Second Rule"...and apparently, it isn't safe to eat something if it's only been on the ground less than 5 seconds. Do you agree?

Myles: No, way! Have you ever eaten a McDonalds??? That place would kill you way before dirt would.

Chris: I guess its all in how hungry you are. I’m sure it’s not sanitary to eat something off the ground, But unless it’s dropped in rat poison I’m sure its not going to kill you. I personally think the statement 5 second rule is about the question of “is it worth it to stop, or should you just walk away.”

Fringe: You guys don't have a ton of songs yet, but of the songs you have written, which one is your favorite and why? Is that song different from your favorite song to play live?

Myles: Well, as of right now the new song we are working on is my favorite. The reason being is because it is fun to play and keeps your head moving. The one which is my favorite to play live would have to be Outlaws.

Chris: Every band has a ton of songs. They just don’t feel the songs are good enough to show off. We all have different songs that we like the best. I think that’s why I love writing with these guys so much. We wont stop until we are all completely satisfied with a song. We take a lot longer to write songs then most bands because we wont play it unless its good enough for us first, And we beat ourselves up a lot to make songs the best we can. I would have to say live though Outlaws is an amazing song to play. It really gets the crowd pumped.

Fringe: Picture this... a beautiful private island off the west coast, and you're stuck. Forever. What would the band absolutely need to survive (not including instruments)?

Myles: Burritos! That's it.

Chris: Family. Most of our band doesn’t have a lot of family but the family we do have is absolutely amazing. I think you’re talking about inanimate objects though, so I would have to say a radio. Playing music is awesome but if we didn’t have any music in our lives I don’t think we could get through the day.

Fringe: Say anything else you want people to know about 5 Second Rule:

We would like everyone to know that our fans are amazing. It’s as much of our music as it is yours. If you weren’t around we would have anyone to play for. That would make our music empty. You can contact us at www.myspace.com/5secondrulerocks . Show some love.

Bio

For most young musicians there is always a plan B, a fallback, a just in case. Not for Five Second Rule. There is no backup plan. There is no other option. There is no other life. Music is life.
