What is The Minus 5 in Year 2025? You might well arsk! What started off in 1993 as a studio side project (as the Young Fresh Fellows were easing up on their typically frenetic activities), it was originally meant to explore the folkier, more dismal side of rock’s palate/pallet. Now thirty years on, it seems to be just another rock band — a band with a rather extensive discography, belying its part-time status. Which is pretty awesome anyway.
