Bolt Action Five started when a bunch of random noises all got melted together, like Lego left in the sun too long. They make pop songs, which sound like everything good you've ever heard ever. They have four drum machines. This is too many drum machines to fit in one Fiesta.

There are four people in Bolt Action Five. Tobias J Hughes plays geetar. He is the official metal frontman. He represents ROCKING THE FUCK OUT. Dan The Carnivore sings. He is the heroic pretty boy frontman. He dances like a mean mother and then catches fire. Ian William Galloway plays bass and weird flashing boxes. He is the geeky electronic frontman with too many instruments. He yells which one comes next. Mark Meerkat plays keyboards. He is the lurking dancey frontman. He makes techno noise and has glowing red eyes.

"Put simply. You. Have. To. See. Bolt. Action. Five!! They are the ultimate portable party: drum machine thumps, funky-as-shit bass lines, and metal-punk-fuzz guitar riffs that’ll make you move like you're on hot coals." -DirtySouth

"Bolt Action Five seem to be the product of a random meeting between a group of guys who all wanted to be in a band but only found out once they were onstage that the guitarist was into metal, the keyboard player wanted to do washes of electronic noise and the singer was intent on nifty dancing and smart-pop." - Artrocker
