The 5to8s is a groove collective of musicians, singers and rappers in the Copenhagen and Malmø area. The band has been going strong in Copenhagen for the last 10+ years with residencies at Ideal bar (Vega), Barbarella Cocktail bar, and Café Mandela in the heart of Copenhagen. The sound is urban (Hiphop, Soul/Neo-soul Reggae, G-funk/Funk and Pop). A mix of the bands own material, music created on the spot, and jams over hip hop and soul classics make up the shows.

On May 23rd The 5to8s released their debut EP – Strawberry Sessions – Part One. The EP showcases the same tight musicianship and raw, improvisational energy that are unmistakable trademarks of the live shows.

The 5to8s are always in funk mode adding a unique flavour to whatever they touch. The goal is too take the listener on a musical voyage, through improvisation, playful freestyle raps and soulful vocals. Add a bit of playful interaction with the crowd, a low-key vibe, and you have that...
