We're a four piece band (yes four not five) that started out in 2011. The Five in Area Five comes from the village where the band started. The village is called "Cinco Hermanos"  so Area Five is just another name we gave the village.  We started the band just as one of our many activities we did during the summer. Aside from skateboarding around our neighborhood and playing video games, we would also be learning songs and even trying to compose our own songs.
