BIOGRAFÍA:
It's February / March 1996, the place Aarschot, Belgium, that's when and where Five days off began their career. They started playing together, making songs, and being extremely motivated to become an explosive kick ass punkrock-band.They started making songs and played a lot of shows after they released some demo-tapes, and the responses were good! They often got compared with bands as Randy, Strung out and Satanic Surfers but with their own personal touch. The people from Funtime-records (Belgium biggest punkrock-label) were interested in releasing the new songs, it became a splitcd with Not that straightcalled 'Dedicated to you', ....around 500 copies sold and there were even more shows, the responses were getting better and better. One year later the guys from 5 days off got back into the studio, for recording their first full-length CD, ''Ripping the field''.

2000 was a wonderful year for the buys, they played about 25 shows, they re-released the Ripping the field album in Us/Canada on New-Horizon-records, Indonesia on NoMadness-records.2001 was a year of shows and tours, tours and shows they did about 50shows.True the years they've played with many kick ass bands like Strung Out, Ignite, Satanic Surfers, No Fun At All, 59 Times The Pain, Down By Law, Bouncing Souls, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Reel Big Fish, Vision, Frenzal Rhomb, Useless Id, Burning Heads, Skin Of Tears, Pridebowl, Undeclinable... . to name a few , and last but not least did a small European tour with Adhesive. In the summer of 2001 they toured Canada, it was a big succes, they also toured Spain twice, both times were amazing!
