The Bangkok Five July 26, 2008

Gritty alternative rockers the Bangkok Five emerged from Hollywood starting in 2004. Their respect for D.I.Y. ethics had the guys self-releasing their EP, '10 the Hard Way,' in the spring of 2005 before supporting it on the road with a tour self-booked by way of Myspace.com. Their full-length debut, 'Who's Gonna Take Us Alive?' arrived via Universal in March 2006.
