Artist History It was in the summer of 2000 that Five Cent Wish came together. Their origins were simple. They were a group of friends (all of whom at one time were in the same kindergarten class) who shared a collective interest in music. However, this curiosity was just the foundation of the band's fabrication. The band coined their whimsical title from the popular 80's film, The Goonies. It’s hard to believe that the entirety of the band members had only just been born when this movie was released. With the average band member being only sixteen years of age, one can only expect the boyish good looks associated with such youth. This age factor has also allowed them to reach a large crowd consisting of fans of all ages. Their fan base is primarily centered in South Florida, however, their influence has extended all over the U.S., reaching even Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.

The band projects an exciting stage presence that moves the crowd, sending them into an emotional, dancing frenzy. Their unique sound, along with their energetic stage presence, has provided them with many memorable performances with artists such as Glasseater, Poison the Well, the Rocking Horse Winner, Against All Authority, Dashboard Confessional, and New Found Glory. With the release of their first album, “Actions Speak Louder Than Apologies”, the band has amassed a large and continually growing fan base.
