The Indian rock band, Fifth Note, will be releasing its debut album, “Here We Are” on December 8 this year. The band’s first single and video, “Always Love You” from the album, will be out on Monday evening, October 9 at 6:30 PM IST on all streaming platforms of Frontiers Music SRL.
According to the band, the inspiration behind the release of this album is to revive rock music in Nagaland, so also to exhibit the forte of its members.
Based in Kohima, Fifth Note is a new signing band from the Italy-based Frontiers label. “Their original music piqued the interest from the Frontiers label which works hard to scout the most exciting musical talents around the globe and it resulted in “Here We Are”: the band’s debut full length album. The record also includes Fifth Note debut singles and a superbly crafted set of Hard Rock songs with a Progressive Metal edge. The band is active in promoting good time music with no use of drugs, alcohol or things of that sort,” mentioned a press release issued by the Band.
Fifth Note started in 2019 evolving from the original foundations of a Christian themed band, and also drawing most of their musical influences from the secular Progressive Metal and Classic old school Hard Rock genres of music. “While Progressive Music can run the risk of being self-indulgent, Fifth Note manage to offer a sort of primal urge in their music still offering very catchy melodies and a very polished sound,” stated the press release.
Like many other bands of the genre, Fifth Note started out performing cover songs over the years including songs from label mates such as Stryper and Circus Maximus and also from bands such as Dream Theater, Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Journey and so on.
