Five Or Six – A Thriving And Happy Land

Glad i could bring you some music from a group i really like a lot and i hope you will too

Pretty unknown for the most part. This is the sole LP that they did in the Frizz-bee label from The Netherlands. They went to have several singles on Cherry Red and a few compilations of their work have come out on CD

This is a pretty good description of the sound

“Five or Six was a UK post-punk band, originally signed to Cherry Red Records by A&R head Mike Alway, who deemed them to be the act with the most potential from the scene he had helped create around the Snoopies club in south-west London. The line-up was fluid, and apart from their key contribution to the best-selling compilation album Pillows & Prayers, they are perhaps most notable for the various activities of most former members. With echoes of Wire, This Heat, and Joy Division, this is one of the rarest and most outstanding records to come out of British post-punk.”

Pretty on the money
