>(New York, NY) - "Late News Breaking," the major label
>debut from soulful and ragged guitar rockers Squad
>Five-0, will be released on June 29th.
>
>The album's title, borrowed from a Joe Strummer song,
>acknowledges the various current events that inspired
>the band's latest collection of songs. While the
>tracks are united by their passion, and by an abiding
>love of guitar rock in all its forms, the subject
>matter is coming from the
>perspectives of five unique people.

>Drummer Dave Petersen takes on the evils of apathy in
>the glammed-up "Always Talkin', Never on the Run," and
>unchecked gentrification in the snarling "Secret
>Society." But frontman Jeff Forston's reggae-kissed
>"Don't Hesitate" is raw in its romantic yearning, and
>guitarist Adam Garbinski's beautifully tattered "Lay
>It Down" and "Left Alone" are unflinchingly personal
>and pointed.
>
>The album, produced by Matt Wallace
>(Replacements/Faith No More) is another milestone for
>a group that's made waves in various scenes since its
>inception.
>
>Twin brothers Jeff and John Fortson were raised in
>Savannah, Georgia and decided to be a band one night
>in their bedroom, channeling the music that was
>swimming in their heads. The brothers formed early
>bands forged from
>the fires of classic punk, but while their
>contemporaries were focused on velocity, the pair was
>lovingly incorporating melodies inspired by classic
>guitar bands from the Rolling Stones to U2.

>As they picked up members and started logging miles on
>the tour circuit, Squad Five-0 quickly became a part
>of a grassroots punk revival that used boundless
>passion and scrappy charm to endear themselves to fans
>nationwide.
>Their sweaty, honest, and unabashedly positive vibe
>had clearly struck a chord.
>
>They released several popular indie records including
>"Bombs Over Broadway" (2000) and "Squad Five-0"
>(2002). But as their lineup expanded and the band's
>sound started to evolve beyond punk's limitations and
>more towards
>expanding their songwriting, the band discovered new
>legions of fans and a new creative chemistry, all of
>which led to this snapshot of Squad Five-0
>today..."Late News Breaking."
