Artist History
HFD Bio
High Five Drive is a young band based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Driven by dual vocalists and influences including punk, rock, metal, and emo, people just can’t seem to figure out what genre they are… they just know that their music kicks some serious ass. From ripping fast punk anthems, to slower, more powerful emo-rock, this band can not be judged by any one song.
The band formed a solid line-up in July 2001. Just two months later they played their first gig, and by November were in the studio to record a two song demo. The demo sold over 300 copies in the short time it was available, and received some airplay on local campus radio, but HFD wasn’t happy with the songs or the recording quality, so in April 2002, they went back to studio to record a 5 song EP.
In July 2002, the band went on their first western Canadian tour playing Brandon MB, Regina SK, Edmonton AB, Lethbridge AB, Calgary AB, Anaheim SK, and Saskatoon SK. Their new EP was well received by college radio stations, and was put into indie record stores in cities along the tour.
Shortly after the tour, the band headed into Studio 11 in Winnipeg to record a new song. They had won the studio time at a Battle of the Bands courtesy of CMA Entertainment.
With a fresh single in their pockets, the band headed back out on tour in late September 2002 with Hourglass recording artists Supersift for another western Canadian tour. This time HFD was able to hit Selkirk MB, Humboldt SK, Swan Hills AB, Prince George BC, Vancouver BC, and Calgary AB.
Now, armed with a new demo, a quickly growing fan base, and a lot of determination, High Five Drive is actively searching for a record label and planning their first cross-Canada tour scheduled for May 2003.
