History


Before F5 was formed, Dave Ellefson was the bassist for thrash metal band Megadeth.[3] But in 2002, the band dissolved due to an injury to frontman Dave Mustaine's arm. Ellefson went on to produce a local band called Lifted, where he met guitarist Steve Conley and drummer Dave Small.[4] After recruiting guitarist John Davis and vocalist Dale Steele, F5 was then formed.

In 2005, F5 released their debut album A Drug for All Seasons recorded with producer Ryan Greene, who had worked with Megadeth, Bad Religion, and NOFX. The record was released worldwide in 2005 via JVC (Japan/Asia), Mascot (Europe), and Cleopatra Records (North America).[3] F5 toured in support of the album, including opening for Staind for one tour date on the Jägermeister Music Tour in 2006.[5] MTV premiered the music video of F5's song "Dissidence". The song "Dissidence" is included on the compilation CD Unleashed 3.[6]

In March 2013, the album was reissued exclusively on iTunes with a new bonus track, "Sleeping Giants".[7]

In 2008, F5 released their second studio album entitled The Reckoning, with Ellefson's former Megadeth band-mate Jimmy DeGrasso joining on drums after Small left in 2007, and Ryan Greene again producing. The album was released via OarFin Distribution (Koch), licensed to Nightmare Records in North America and Silverwolf Productions in Europe. A video emerged for the album's title track "The Reckoning", followed by one for an unreleased non-album cover of Fight's "Nailed to the Gun".

In 2009, drummer Jimmy DeGrasso returned to Alice Cooper's band. In early 2010, Dave Ellefson left to rejoin Megadeth, leaving the future of F5 unknown. In May 2013, Steve Conley left to join Flotsam and Jetsam.
