The Fifth Estate

The Fifth Estate
A rock band out of a factory section of Stamford, CT by way of NYC, especially Greenwich Village. There they often played 5 or 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week, for months at a time. They rocked harder and heavier than most bands of the 60s. This did them no great service as to the necessary AM Radio pop required of the day. So do to a bet at a NYC party they jokingly did Ding Dong The Witch is Dead. It was a huge hit around the world. This and 3 other hits moved them on into huge concerts around the country.

Live they were ahead of things in the 60s and as Tomorrow Is My Turn could show you they already played what would become the thing in the 70s and again in the 90s and then and now again with bands like Oasis in the 2020s. It would be wrong to say they are like Oasis. Although they are just a factory area bunch of band lads like Oasis. But it would be more correct to say that Oasis was and is more like The Fifth Estate. BECAUSE The Fifth Estate was FIRST with great songs and that wall of sound, which is loved from the 70s to this day.

They stayed all these years doing what they do. Sometimes underground. Sometimes above ground. And now will release a timeless album called THEN and NOW of all new tunes. With the great guitar player and Grammy Winning producer Paul Nelson on it, you can hear all that again.

The best of then and now on their new album to be released in 2025 - THEN and NOW.

This album contains no booklet.
