Album Notes

"There are really only two kinds of music that have ever been created; the good kind, and the bad kind. And the latter remains questionable." -Lyle O'Cruise

"At the onset, music was nothing more than a steady beat and emotion. Clean, pure, and from the heart. As we progressed so did the music around us. While progress is good the outcome doesn't always share the adjective. Then there was KL5. A smooth sound that grabs us by the ear and says, "Hey, come here! I want to show you what music can sound like when you wipe away all the bullshit." When asked if I like KL5 I can say only that I have two ears and a heart. Keep it up guys."
-Bryan Kostors

Klondike-5 is:
Kevin Rosinbum - guitars, lead vocals
Zack Stearns - guitars, vocals
Brian Stork - bass guitars, vocals
(Keith Womack - drums, percussion)

KL5 is, simply, music borne of three mates who after several years, one day realized they enjoyed the music and company of one another moreso than the other projects they'd been or were a part of. They are largely acoustic, combined with a healthy dose of electricity and sonic-sculpting; the trio offers up a progressive-folk-rock-funk styling that draws on as many other artists and styles as the three bandmates have toes and fingers, or are able to count out loud. With the recent and monumentous addition of the insanely talented and inventive Keith Womack behind his drums, KL5's sound is as powerful as ever.

"Steal the Plain Straight", recorded in early 2003, hearkens back to the group's earlier days and tunes, is a bit more stripped down than their current live shows in the Seattle metro area, and will give you a bit of a window into this band's beginnings with a couple suprises along the way.
