FIVE STATE DRIVE

Five State Drive is a dynamic ska punk band hailing from Nagoya, Japan, known for their energetic blend of ska and skate punk influences. The band has been active for over a decade, consistently delivering breakneck-paced music that mixes the upbeat rhythms of ska with the raw energy of skate punk. Their self-titled debut full-length album, released recently, has received high praise for its infectious energy and skillful blending of styles reminiscent of bands like Hi-Standard, Kemuri, Less Than Jake, and Operation Ivy. The current lineup features Montero on vocals, Hora on guitar, Takuya/Gorilla on bass, and Dr. Tabaken on drums, who joined in 2025. Their vibrant sound and spirited performances have made them a standout act in the Japanese punk scene.
