The Fifth - We Are One

After paying dues for over a decade, The Fifth is putting the pedal down in an all-out push for higher ground with debut album "We Are One", out on RFK Media. This potent collection contains twelve songs that clearly celebrate the band’s strengths: strong anthems with blistering guitars and powerful vocals, while weaving classic rock roots with strands of modern melodic rock.
Fronted by veteran frontman and former MCA recording artist Roy Cathey (Cold Sweat), affectionately known as “The Mouth Of The South”, The Fifth also includes young guitar hero Justin Womble, bassist Jake Tripp (Gunshine) and drummer Gary Smith. The album was produced by Chris McLernon (Saigon Kick, Cold Sweat). Primary recording took place at Big Animal Studio (home of Shinedown) in Charleston, SC.
The stellar first single “Starlight” was released last year and supported by an intense full-production music video directed by Jaiden Frost.
No strangers to the big stage, The Fifth has recently performed on the KISS KRUISE and toured with/opened for Foreigner, Nickelback, Blue Öyster Cult, Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin, Queensryche, Stryper, Kix, Hinder, Tantric and Saliva. They’ve also headlined countless bike events & festivals stateside and garnered rave reviews for their 2008 tour of Japan. The band’s music has appeared in major TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Voice and the 2016 Summer Olympics on NBC.
After bearing witness to this relentless drive & perseverance and loving what they’d heard and seen, Ron Keel’s team at RKF Media put a bullseye on The Fifth and was determined to make them the first act signed to the new multi-media company. “Their energy is infectious”, Keel explains, “and this is exactly the kind of band we can devote our resources to.”
