5 Way Addiction

The fact that Penrith's 5 Way Addiction consider their upcoming debut album to be their Appetite For Destruction provides two important bits of context. Firstly, if that's your benchmark for a magnum opus, it's pretty obvious which way you like your rock n' roll... guitars blazing, snarling and mean. Secondly, it's obvious that 5 Way Addiction have put their lives into the record. It is the result of blood, sweat, tears, beers and brotherhood. And it sounds fuckin' huge. Lead single 'She's The Girl' hits on every level - produced to perfection by the team of engineer/producer Steve James (Cold Chisel, The Angels, The Screaming Jets), co-engineer Richard Lake and mastering guru Tony 'Jack The Bear' Mantz, who have managed to capture the band's live sound and squeeze it through two speakers. Being the beast they are, 5 Way Addiction are a road band. If there is a stage, they can play it, big or small. And that's part of the timeless beauty of real rock n' roll – it doesn't matter if you are in an outback town or one of the world's biggest cities; people get it. When it is authentic, people from any walk of life can relate to it. 5 Way Addiction is a Hard Rock band from Sydney. Their debut album 'Play Loud' was released in November 2015.
