We are just some average Italian lazy Wankers that grew up by the sea, eating good food, spotting topless ladies on the beach, surfing a bit, taking it easy and well... playing punk rock. We live in Savona, a small town in the north west of Italy not far from Nice, famous for... uhmhmh.. Let me think about it...I mentioned the ladies, the food.. what else do we need? We were introduced to melodic hardcore punk at a certain period trough skateboarding, we soon started to think it was possible and ought to be done to form a punk band following the steps of the bands we were constantly listening at the time: Bad Religion, Down By Law, No Use for a Name, etc. We started several projects and all of them dwindled into nothing, but just some good times and disorganization!We were basically a skate band, since we all skated but the fact that the only practice room we could find was literally in the wood on top of an ever snowed mountain with no heating, soon made us change our minds and we ended up following separate paths. I did not give up the idea of the band and I kept working on it, changing of line-ups, people, girlfriends, etc. And now I am in Five O's with these other guys. We got together at the beginning of 1998 and in 1999, after having toured and opened up for various popular bands such as: Strung out, Satanic Surfers, Down by Law, All System Go, Undeclinable.., we put out our first CD '' Groundfloor.
