::Biography::

FC FiVE started off back in early 2000, consisting of Tomy [Vocals], Hiroto [Guitar], Kousuke [Bass] and Kim [Drums]. They start writing songs and doing gigs in their local area, Ibaragi (suburban area of Tokyo). With their emotional and strong "new school meets old school" type of unique style of sounds and their amazing performance skill, they got great reaction from their local area. With tons of sing-along, high jump and big smile can be seen anywhere they played. But throughout the years they have been known to incorporate a more melodic feel into the high speed and energy filled hardcore that many have to come to know as FC FiVE. FC FiVE prefers to be described more specifically as Japanese Spazzcore with hints of hardcore, punk rock, emo and metal. Their long, sweaty and energetic shows are a testament to their music ideals, as all the members believe in rocking out on stage and having fun.

They have released their own demo in 2001 which has been sold over 2000 copies. In 2002, FC FiVE released their first EP entitled "Final Countdown EP" through Hong Kong label Gods Child Music, and in 2003, they released their 1st full length album "Memories" through Japanese indie label 1138. FC FiVE also appeared on many compilation albums. Moreover, the first EP has been re-released after running out of stock by Gods Child Music. The record on selling keeps breaking into a new high.

In 2002 FC Five played at the TAIWAN FORMOZ FEST along with fellow Japanese band "BRAHMAN". FC Five have toured other South East Asian countries such as Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong.

As a highlight of their career, FC FiVE went to the US to have their first US tour (11 cities) with Stretch Arm Strong, Bane, Only Crime (member of good riddance, decendents), Comeback Kid, Give Up The Ghost and The Hope Conspiracy in summer of 2004. During their US tour, there was a huge hardcore festival "HELLFEST 04", and FC FiVE played 2 songs at the main stage of this festival during the Bane set. They signed Roadrunner Japan Inc. and planning to release their new album in next spring. FC FiVE's history has just started, and their name will attack all over Japan and the world.

Hellfest 05 on August 21, they played with As I Lay Dying, Bloodjinn, From Autumn To Ashes, Haste The Day, Killswitch Engage, The Red Chord, Remembering Never, Still Remains, Throwdown, Today Is The Day & many many bands.
