Welcome to the Five
Finger Discount offical website!
Five Finger Discount is a hyper-jazzed 6 piece ska punk (they also play different styles of swing, reggae, and pop-punk) band from Northern Arlington, Virginia. For all of you who are failing geography, that would be right next to Washington, D.C. You know, the place where the president
lives and get's it on with his interns. FFD got started in the summer of '96, so they've been around for about three years, getting better as they grew. The original band was Nathan, Steve, Matt and Trevor, but soon adding members as it went along. They started out in Nathan's basement, with the crappy name of Buddha Belly, barely knowing how to play their instruments. Let's meet the band now:
Well, that's the band as it is today. So far, they've released one self produced tape, called To The Deli!, that has 12 songs and costs only 4 dollars. They do have stickers, home made patches, and hopefully soon shirts too. The reason for that is, Five Finger Discount is looking into a young record label, run by Matt Kemp (from FFD) and Christian Blunda (from the Dirty Rats), called SMACT RECORDS. FFD will most definetly find a happy home there, so look for new releases from them, and thanx for your time!
