The November Five

Dissatisfied with a never-ending stream of say-nothing careerists more concerned with haircuts and pension plans, The November Five are here to reclaim and deliver the spirit of rock’n’roll in its purest form. As one bandwagon loses its wheels after another to end up stuck in a slough of mediocrity, The November Five follow a decidedly singular route.



Inspired as much by the sound of your neighbours arguing at 3 o'clock in the morning, the wailing of sirens and the crashing of doors in a dawn raid as they are by their musical heroes, The November Five deliver a no-nonsense attitude courtesy of a sound that is both brittle and subtle, jarring yet warm, familiar and simultaneously startling; and all this while the human condition is examined with the precision of a medical switchblade. Verily, The November Five is where MENSA collides with ASBO.



Be it on stage or blasting out of your speakers, The November Five fill the musical void that’s been left empty for far too long. And remember: never trust a band that doesn’t sweat.



"The November Five combine the driving sneer of Earl Brutus, some of the atmospherics of the Arcade Fire if they weren't twig-stroking Canadians, and some very British bombast - in The November Five's hands, guitars do, very much, squall." - John Doran, The Quietus.
