Squad Five-O is an American punk rock band that emerged from Savannah, Georgia, initially founded by brothers Jeff and John Fortson in 1997. Their music style is a fusion of punk rock with the swagger of classic rock and roll, along with a touch of reggae and ska, which became more prominent in their later work. Originally, their lyrical themes were closely tied to their Christian faith, but as their sound evolved, so did their subject matter, moving towards more socially conscious themes and an overarching message of unity and resistance against injustice.

The band's evolution can be heard across their albums, starting with their self-titled "Squad Five-O" in 2000, which showcased their hardcore punk roots. Following albums like "Bombs Over Broadway" and "Fight The System" saw the band incorporating more diverse musical elements and maturing in their artistry. Their fifth studio album, "Late News Breaking," released in 2004, continued this trend with a more polished sound and sophisticated songwriting. "Solid Gold," the band's last known release, serves as a testament to their journey, combining their raw early energy with the more nuanced and melodic direction their music took over the years. Although Squad Five-O has been relatively quiet on the new release front since then, the impact of their music and the intensity of their performances have left a lasting impression on fans of the punk rock scene.
