5th Threat are a heavy-hitting, punk-rock, outfit hailing from South Auckland. Telling tales of triumph, loss and life whilst remaining up-beat. Because, as we all know, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger and 5th Threat are strong indeed.
Developing their unique sound around vocal melody, grinding guitars and bouncing bass lines, these boys aim to deliver and they do. You will find examples of this littered throughout their EP 'Threat or Death'. Known to transcend genres, 5th Threat’s music has been called ear candy, as once heard their songs are damn hard to shake.
In late 2007 the guys struck back harder and more determined than ever releasing their eagerly awaited debut. Threat or Death received a 4 star review from NZ magazine Real Groove (Jan 2008) which hailed the song Suzan as "the greatest pop punk song to come out of New Zealand".
