The new album is out and it's simply sublime. This is the natural evolution of Five O'clock People. It's too bad we had to wait 6 years to get here, but it probably wouldn't be as good if we hadn't. Drew and Pat's experience with Careen and a lot of Pat's production work have left an unmistakable mark on this latest offering. It's cranked up 12 notches and yes, it's electric. But at the same time, it's still unmistakably Five O'clock People. And how they pulled that off is nothing short of amazing. But then, isn't that what we've come to expect from this lot?

2001 - Independent

In November 2000, the band did an extraordinary thing. Well, two things, really. The first was to perform two live shows at the Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR with a string section, with Alex and Drew writing the arrangements. The second was to record both shows and mix the best of each into a live enhanced CD. The event was called "in the bleak midwinter", and it's purpose and effect was to provide a little brightness and warmth in the middle of winter. Some of their songs are transformed from being merely sublime into something enigmatically entrancing. The unique arrangement and performance of the classic "in the bleak midwinter" that opened the show is worth the price of the album alone. In addition to that, a large video production was undertaken at the shows and those viewing the enhanced CD on their computers can see live interviews as well as the first (and only ever) Five O'clock People video!

2000 - Independent

For those newer fans who can't get a hold of the first two out-of-print albums, the band was kind enough to put together some of the best early material in a compilation. This is the best of the best of the early 5OP!

Shortly after "Fall", Brent became the next band member to go his own way, and his role was assumed by the lovely Kris Doty. The first female member, she brought yet another quality to the band that was a little more elusive - class! After much touring and playing with that lineup, writing new songs and developing new material, the band was signed by a national label and the first non-independently produced album was in the works. The band had, by this time, achieved a depth of talent and musical sophistication that made acclaimed producer Joe Chicarelli jump at the chance to direct this incredible production. Combining old favorites with some exciting new material, the band produced a work that should have made them a household name. However, as the label decided not to promote and distribute the album, the band's relationship with them promptly ended, and this amazing record remains a hard-to-find obscurity. It is, nevertheless, the most successful work so far, in commercial terms, and definitely the one anyone interested in the band should start with.

This was a promotional release (not for sale) by Pamplin in conjuntion with SPY Promotions to promote upcoming releases from Five O'clock People and Aaron Sprinkle. It contained two songs from the forthcoming album, and two songs from Aaron's solo release, "moontraveler".

1997 - Independent

While Jon could certainly never be replaced, his departure to become a family man saw his role assumed by the newly arrived Drew Grow. The overall sound was further changed by the addition of drummer Andy Uppendahl. Five O'clock People was now five people and some amazing things were starting to happen. The first was sorry, a demonstration of artistic genius that prompted acclaimed producer Joe Chicarelli (the nothing venture) to proclaim "The first time I heard sorry it struck me as one of the most unique things I'd heard in years." The next was the debut of the marvelous writing of Drew Grow and lunar, whose profound reflections on faith touched the Christian and secular audiences alike. Featuring the famous percussive coup-de-genius of Alex Walker , a set of keys, and a kitchen kettle, it remains to this day the most requested song at concerts (yes, even more so than frank). The brilliant foot-stomping crowd-pleaser, remain, adds to the new material that proved that Five O'clock People was not only still alive and well, but perhaps even "new and improved". Reworkings of same old line and living water round out the album that really put the spotlight on the band and burned them into the public's consciousness.

1997 - Out of Print

Continuing with the same personnel, this time taking more than than the three days in which the first album was birthed to produce, the guys put together what may very well be my favorite studio album (i.e. not retrospective or live) yet. Featuring four of what I think are some of their finest works, which were laid to rest with the original lineup, frank, goodenough, puzzle, and trust merchant, it is a mind-numbing lyrical tour-de-force. While a couple lines from trust merchant occasionally (more rarely all the time) serve as an intro to remain in live shows, same old line is the only 5OP original from this album that has survived to current set lists (blame has become an old standby, but it is a Mike Knott cover).

1996 - Out of Print

This is the album that started it all. Featuring the original Five O'clock People lineup of Alex Walker, Pat Tetreault, Jon Weller, and Brent Todd, this was a wake up call for all of us who were beginning to agree with Solomon, that there was "nothing new under the sun". Rocketing right out of the gates with originality and a percussive masterpiece, cold coffee lives up to it's name- it makes you sit up, take notice, and say "wow!". Followed by Pat's now-legendary meditatio of worship, living water, and continuing with Alex' "necessary process by which I come to realize the need for Grace", angry rant, we are treated to a "tour of talent", so to speak, showcasing marvelously each band member's contribution to the synergistic whole. Also featuring such favorite opuses as house of God, and the infamous big fat horse, this album is a must-have. Unfortunately, if you don't have it now, it's too late...
