5skin was born December in the year 2002. It blossomed in South Florida by a group of musicians who were less than satisfied with the lethargic state of music consuming the airwaves. The feeling among the members was that an even more aggressive style of music, both recorded and live, was clearly needed. 5skin is the answer to that philosophy. The band puts a mammoth amount of non-stop energy into their music and their popular live performances. 5skin is NOT a heavy metal band with the same monotonous themes, screams and overtures that was once popular a decade ago. Instead, they are a hard-rocking, innovative band with clear messages contained both in their music and lyrics.
