RC5

The RC5, formed in 1997, features members from Austin and Seattle's finest punk bands: Zipgun, The Kent 3, AMA, and Jesus Christ Superfly. Extensive US and European tours have enabled the band to gain a devoted following. In addition to an exhilarating touring schedule, The RC5 supports such artists as Epitaph's Zeke and enjoys recording, refining, and redefining their blazing punk-rock sound. This dynamic sound has secured the band shows with The New Bomb Turks, The Supersuckers, Electric Frankenstein, Gas Huffer, The Briefs, Pegboy, The Real McKenzies, and The Fastbacks.

Rolling Stone, Spin, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post have all written outstanding reviews in praise of The RC5. A writer at Flipside Magazine commended the band by saying: "[The RC5] splattered out machine-gun style in tight, no-frills of rock 'n' roll [songs] that seldom clock in at more than two minutes...may be short term but the effect is long lasting."

On Run Baby Run, the RC5's sixth album release, these catchy, memorable hooks are brillantly realized in Gotta Weekend, Go, Go Girl, and the title track. Run Baby Run will assure you that punk-rock is alive and well in Seattle under the vigilant care of The RC5.
