Five Iron Frenzy

Five Iron Frenzy were one of the seemingly thousands of ska-punk bands that dominated the post-grunge mainstream modern-rock scene of the late '90s. The group -- comprised of Reese Roper (vocals), Micah Ortega (guitar), Scott Kerr (guitar, backing vocals), Keith Hoerig (bass), Andrew Verdecchio (drums), Dannis Culp (trombone, backing vocals), Leanor "Jeff" Ortega (saxophone) and Nathanel "Brad" Dunham (trumpet) -- formed in Denver during the mid-'90s. After a few years of constant gigging, the band attracted a strong regional following and their 1996 debut album, Upbeats and Beatdowns, became a local hit. The record led to major label interest, and the band signed with the Warner subsidiary SaraBellum in 1997. SaraBellum reissued Upbeats & Beatdowns in the spring, paving the way for the November release of Our Newest Album Ever!, the band's second album. The live Proof That the Youth Are Revolting followed in 1999, and a year later Five Iron Frenzy returned with the studio album All the Hype That Money Can Buy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

FIF is a Real inspiration to not only Christians but also to anyone who loves this type of music. Soooooo happy to hear they are releasing another album!!!
Its funny nobody says anything about ANY bands' lyrics except If they're christian. People are always gonna hate Christians I guess. Op ivy is awesome but you can't really compare these 2 bands. Op ivy is more towards punk and FIF is more toward ska. Ska-punk is a broad genre
Man, people gonna sing bout what's important to them. Since god is clearly that important to them you should be mature enough to be cool with that. Dwelsbacher
dwelsbacher, YOU'RE AN IDIOT! Good music is good music. Anti-religio u s music is good if it sounds good. Five Iron Frenzy is fun and sounds great. GO FIF.
Love, Love Love, this band! I also Love the Christian lyrics. It gives it a joyful aspect to their music. Never forget you roots man especially in god .

Religion seems like an oxymoron when it comes to skapunk. They don't mesh well. This band is talented but would be much better if they didn't sing about God damn Jesus Christ. I agree, that guy is stupid. You can't even compare Operation Ivy to them.
Decent-ish band. Definitely some musical talent that is kind of ruined by terrible religious lyrics. A few songs are fun to listen to but the guy who said Operation Ivy doesn't come close is a complete retard.
Seriously the best ska band ever! I'm sorry but bands like Operation Ivy don't even come close to these guys. Oh they are great.
In the soundless awe and wonder...
Way good stuff
i got out of touch with them many years ago then i went thur my sis cd's and found all of ther CD's im looking for some LP's of thers now
i've been listening to FIF since 1997 and i will never stop
Five Iron Frenzy is the worst band of all time, far worse than Nickleback. In fact, I've heard that Five Iron's next album will be a tribute album to Nickleback.
Played at the House of Blues Sunday night in San Diego! Still rocking it
Just saw them at FishFest on Saturday, sooooo sick! And Pandora definitely needs to update this bio page...

My favorite Christian Ska, all the way!
Get it together pandora! The discography should be (at least more) complete, and the bio should include the phrase best at what they did somewhere.
The Best!

aristeia.of. d i o m e d e s
some bands seem to speak their heart. other bands seem to speak what they think the consumer wants to hear. this band speaks their heart, and i love them for it!
danielschunc k e
Love um
I descovered these guys a couple years back and was soooo mad when I found out they broke up...
One of my all time favorite bands.

There's some good ska out there but nothing compares to FIF...only got to go to one show...wasn' t near enough :(
Five Iron... the only good ska... a band that dared to say 'being a Christian band doesn't mean we have to suck.' Yaarg.
mhyersii
I really miss this band.

Five Iron Frenzy was God's gift of fun music to the world...I still cry listening to the final performance. . .

I have liked a lot of bands. I have loved a handful; but none as much as Five Iron.
penny.spitze r
I agree with many others... FIF was the greatest, and there is no band equal to them. Their sound is incomparable to any other band, and their lyrics are incredible. I wish they would do a reunion tour...
RIP FIF.... Greatest band ever.
Indeed I wish Roper and co. especially Micah w/ his crazy beard would get back together :(. Many amazing days spent listening to them and going to concerts.
FIF was the very first Ska band I ever heard, and I fell in love with them, I still have to find a band to match their awesomeness.
Greatest Band Ever...
