       THE 505 ROCKS PRESENTS:
THE THUNDEROUS SOUND OF FiVE MiNUTE SiN AND THEiR FORTHCOMiNG CD AMUSE 
JANUARY
2, 2012 - FIVE MINUTE SIN will be celebrating the release of their new
album, AMUSE. The album marks thirteen years on the Albuquerque music
scene, and six since their debut Without was released. FIVE MINUTE SIN
recorded the album at singer and guitarist JESSE KORMAN's ELEPHONIC
STUDIOS, with KORMAN producing the release and Jason Wolf engineering.
AMUSE is a conceptual album, playing on opposites and exploring the
dichotomous nature of human experience. Musically, the band has
departed somewhat from their previous albums, this time blending
classic rock, grunge, heavy alternative and stoner rock in a somewhat
less defined amalgam. The band also incorporated organ and string
arrangements on select songs. The band will release the entire album
for free download on January 7th, with a limited number of physical
copies available for sale. Formed in 1999, FIVE MINUTE SIN has become a
staple on the local Albuquerque rock scene over the past thirteen
years. A far cry from their early days, when the members were so young
that they had to sneak into venues to play gigs, the band has since
shared the stage with names national acts such as NEBULA, RADIO MOSCOW,
and AGENT ORANGE, as well as playing VIP after-parties for NINE INCH
NAILS, ALICE IN CHAINS, and JANE'S ADDICTION. After five years cutting
their teeth, the band became regulars on stage at many of Albuquerque's
venues, and were voted BEST/NEW EMERGING BAND by WEEKLY ALIBI readers
in 2006, the same year they released their debut album. While they
began work on a follow-up release in 2008, they eventually scrapped the
whole thing, unhappy with the direction it was taking. FIVE MINUTE SIN
started fresh on work for their sophomore release when Korman designed
and built his ELEPHONIC RECORDING STUDIO. The band is: JESSE S. KORMAN
(guitar, keys, vocals), DAN WENZ (bass), and BART WENZ (drums).

planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
