“I have recently been listening to the radio through my iTunes, mostly as I can see the artist and the song being played and I don’t have to wonder about who I just listened to. The other day I was listening to a band called Pressure 4-5, which to be honest didn’t sound too bad. At first I thought it was a Helmet song I hadn’t heard before as it sounded a lot like Page Hamilton. I haven’t been able to find out anything about them, or what their story is. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction? Appreciate the time.”

Pressure 4-5 was a five-piece band from Santa Barbara, California who held together between 1998 and 2002. They were best known for an alt-metal cult hit called “Beat the World” in 2001. Although the band broke up for good a little more than five years ago, there are three albums still available through Dreamworks records: Antechnology (1999), Demo (2000) and Burning the Process (2001).
