Five Style Fist
Five Style Fist is a five piece band from Denver, Colorado. We specialize in instrumental Hip Hop and dub music. The band was formed in 2001 and has currently recorded one EP "Five Style Fist" 2002, and one LP "Ambient Frequencies" due out summer 2003.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This five piece was formed in 2001 on an AFE tour to Europe. The members then performing under another name streamlined when they returned to America and Five Style Fist was born. Since 2001 FSF has been dedicated to writing, recording and blowin' up live shows all across Colorado and beyond.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, it's the only way to truly complete the music. No song is finished with out presenting it in front of a crowd of people. We feel that this is very important. We are able to feel out the crowds response and the feeling we are having while performing it. If it works, it is genuine.
We are a live band. We live to rock crowds everywhere.
Your musical influences
We have an integrated sound. This is due to the wide range of musical background in Five Style Fist. We base most of the music off of dub/reggae, funk and jazz then infuse it all together with the root of our sound, Hip Hop. We are a live instrumental Hip Hop band.
