Five O'Clock Heroes

Five O'Clock Heroes are a new wave influenced rock group currently based in New York City. Singer, Antony Ellis, is originally from Northampton in the UK. They first formed in 2003, and to date have released five singles and two albums, Bend to the Breaks and most recently Speak Your Language. Their first single off the album is called "Who", and features vocals from model Agyness Deyn. The single was poorly received by NME, giving it only a 2/10. Their name comes from The Jam's song Just Who Is The Five O'Clock Hero?, which appeared on their album The Gift of 1982. The band cite the likes of Elvis Costello, The Police, Joe Jackson and Dexys Midnight Runners as major influences, and have made a name for themselves, particularly in the UK, through charismatic and energetic live performances. Support slots with The Rakes, Brendan Benson, The Bravery, The Paddingtons, Jet and Albert Hammond, Jr. have ensured their music has reached a considerable audience.
