Bio

One band culminating in one amazing act of love and lust, the climax of which is a spectacle not to be missed. Much like two trains on a collision course, 5star Fallout has been the result of two forces coming together and instead of ending in destruction, has grown into what will prove to be a great New Zealand rock act.

With thoughtfully arranged guitar riffs, dynamic vocal harmonies, and a raw energy and sound, 5star Fallout aims to write songs that everyone can draw meaning from and relate to.

The five members of 5star Fallout have come from different areas of the country and have different musical backgrounds. Four of our members, John McCaffrey, Peter Williams, Andrew Kerr and Michael Murphy have all been high school friends from Taupo and have been in various bands. Adam Stevenson hails from Greytown and has also been involved in bands throughout school.

Since forming in 2005, they have performed with such NZ acts as Steriogram, 48May, Goodnight Nurse, My Life Story, Mumsdollar and Tadpole. They have already won over many fans that can't get enough of the band. After performing one of their songs 'Seasons' live on the Edge radio station acoustically, the flood of texts and calls that came in overwhelmed the presenters so much that they were forced to replay the song.

The band completed the recording of their debut album with producer Clint Murphy.

Michael now performs with Written By Wolves.
