5 Finger Discount was a Ska-Punk/Hardcore band that was around the Marquette music scene from July 2006 - April 2009 (I was 5FD's frontman). Over our 3 years as a band we did a lot of shows locally, and a handful of shows in lower Michigan and Houghton with a slew of respected local/regional acts including Sycamore Smith, FCD, Riot 49, Front of Resistance, Stuck Lucky, Hudson Falcons, Anarkinda, I am Citizen, Denslow Cup, Poor Man's Coke, Project: Mayhem!, Luck Roger and his 9 Lives, Live to Kill, Forty Lashes, and Mustard Plug. Though we did have quite a bit of momentum we ended up going through a few inactive periods/line-up changes, over time we progressed from a pretty generic ska/punk band to a fusion of hardcore, pop punk, and ska. We didn't record much, but this is the final recording we did as a band and it's probably the only decent recording out of the lot (other than the song "My Fight" which we did exclusively for the 231 House of Muses compilation). It's rough around the edges in some spots, but we put a lot of work into writing these songs and I feel like it's an accurate representation of who we were at the time.
