If Man is Five was formed in the spring of 2002 in Binghamton NY. The bands original line up had Angela Timon on vocals, Brianna Salazar on guitar, Matthew Sisson on drums, with Allen Spencer on bass. The members all met at a local punk show in 1997 after talking with Angela who played guitar and only had one hand. One year after forming If Man Is Five released Azraela, a short album featuring the styles of punk and gothic rock. No longer willing to be held back by musical differences, Angela and Brianna made the difficult decision of firing Allen Spencer. The band unsure of their future found a new bass player and pressed on. Next the band released Blood is the Ink Hate is the Story, an experimental album much heavier than its predecessor combining hardcore, punk, and metal with traditional classical music. In 2006 the band forged on as a three piece impressing audiences with Angela taking on the role of both bass player and singer. If Man is Five was selected to play the NXNE Festival, Lady Fest, and the Girls Rock and Girls Rule Tours. Recently the band released their very first DVD, and are currently working on their highly anticipated third album. There is little doubt that If Man Is Five can only move upward, by bringing originality and raw talent to the forefront.
