Related Band Info:
 Yellow
Second: Another band made up of former members of Five Iron Frenzy,
Yellow Second has been making a name for themselves in the Denver, CO music
scene over the past few years. The band has released two independent projects
before releasing their third album to a wider audience. Titled
Altitude, the thirteen tracks include the alternative musical style
those familiar with the band will recognize, and those unfamiliar will quickly
get stuck in their heads.
Brave
Saint Saturn: From members of Five Iron Frenzy comes the launch of a new project, Brave Saint Saturn,
and with it a whole new genre of
music. Welcome to the final frontier: astro-rock! The
project, originally called Astronaut, is certainly a great leap from the usual upbeat ska sound the band usually has. He has enlisted the help of band-mates Dennis Culp and Keith Hoerig in
this project, with Micah, Andrew, and Scott playing on the album. The CD, titled So Far From Home, was released June 2000. Reese said “It sounds kind of like Jars of Clay crossed with Smashing
Pumpkins with a bunch of astronauts talking over it.” Created by Roper in
1995, Brave Saint Saturn was initially a platform for Roper to express his
thoughts on topics traditionally considered dark and emotional. Lyrically this
is definitely the dark side of Five Iron Frenzy," explains Roper. Their
sophomore album,
The
Light of Things Hoped For, has also been released.
