Louder Than The Music

Popular band Five Iron Frenzy are to return with a brand new album some eight years after they finished. 'Engine of a Million Plots' will be released on 26th November 2013 and includes the single, 'Into Your Veins'.

The new studio album was overwhelmingly supported through a Kickstarter project that made history raising seven times the asking goal. In less than an hour, fans met the goal and then continued to pledge raising more than $207k.

Five Iron Frenzy performed for the first time in eight years on 28th April 2012 in Denver to a packed venue with their local following as well as fans from afar - such as those that flew in from Australia just for the concert.

"Making this record was more about making good art, it was about becoming a family again," shares Five Iron Frenzy saxophonist Leanor Ortega-Till. "I listen and I think 'Wow! We did it! We finally made THE album we've always wanted to listen to.'"

Five Iron Frenzy first formed in 1995 with vocalist/lyricist Reese Roper, former bassist Keith Hoerig, guitarist Micah Ortega, and lead songwriter Scott Kerr. They soon added Dennis Culp on trombone, Andrew Verdecchio on drums, Leanor Ortega-Till on saxophone, Nathanael Dunham on trumpet, and Sonnie Johnson on guitar. They gained national exposure with the songs, 'Oh, Canada' (1997) and 'Where the Zero Meets the Fifteen' (1996). Up until they disbanded in 2003, the band entertained audiences with spirited, interactive shows, sometimes in full costume.
