BIO:
It's February / March 1996, the place Aarschot, Belgium, that's
when and where Five days off began their career. They started playing together,
making songs, and being extremely motivated to become an explosive kick
ass punkrock-band.They started making songs and played a lot of shows after
they released some demo-tapes, and the responses were good! They often
got compared with bands as Randy, Strung out and Satanic Surfers but with
their own personal touch. The people from Funtime-records (Belgium biggest
punkrock-label) were interested in releasing the new songs, it became a
splitcd with Not that straightcalled 'Dedicated to you', ....around 500
copies sold and there were even more shows, the responses were getting
better and better. One year later the guys from 5 days off got back into
the studio, for recording their first full-length CD, ''Ripping the
field''.
2000 was a wonderful year for the buys, they played about 25
shows, they re-released the Ripping the field album in Us/Canada on New-Horizon-records,
Indonesia on NoMadness-records.2001 was a year of shows and tours, tours
and shows they did about 50shows.True the years they've played with many
kick ass bands like Strung Out, Ignite, Satanic Surfers, No Fun At All,
59 Times The Pain, Down By Law, Bouncing Souls, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Reel
Big Fish, Vision, Frenzal Rhomb, Useless Id, Burning Heads, Skin Of Tears,
Pridebowl, Undeclinable... . to name a few , and last but not least
did a small European tour with Adhesive. In the summer of 2001 they toured
Canada, it was a big succes, they also toured Spain twice, both times were
amazing! They also played on Belgium biggest punkrockfestivals, Groezrock
and Krakrock, Rock Herk.Their live-reputation is very good and energetic.
They appeared on several compilationcds with many Fat, Epitaph, Burning
Heart and BadTaste bands.

.... played a lot of shows, they even played at the pukkelpop-festival
