Their fan base was diverse, ranging from the socially and religiously outcast to the parents of teenage fans. The band played shows at both churches and secular venues throughout their career.

History

Five Iron Frenzy started as a side-project of Reese Roper, Keith Hoerig, Micah Ortega, and Scott Kerr's punk rock band Exhumator.^[3] Beginning in May, 1995, the group began adding members, and they settled on a ska sound that June with the addition of Brad Dunham.^[4][5] In August Culp and Leanor Ortega joined, completing the initial lineup.^[5] Never taking themselves too seriously, the band's name began as an inside joke. Although the original intent was for the band to stay local,^[6] they played over sixty shows during their first eight months.^[7] Though many of these shows were played in regular venues, a great number were also played in churches and at Christian-sponsored events,^[8] including the 1996 Cornerstone Festival on the Alarma Records stage.^[9][10][11] They entertained several offers from major Christian record labels including Alarma, Tooth & Nail Records, and Brainstorm Artists International^[12][11] before signing to Frank Tate's 5 Minute Walk Records in August.^[5][13] Reese Roper Michael Reese Roper of Denver, Colorado gained his fame from being the lead singer and chief song writer for the Christian third-wave ska band Five Iron Frenzy. ...

Their first album, Upbeats and Beatdowns was recorded in September^[5] and initially released in November 1996.^[3] Its national release in April, 1997 proved an early success for Five Iron, as the release peaked at 39 on Billboards "Top Contemporary Christian" chart.^[14] The music video for "A Flowery Song" received a Dove Award nomination in the "short form video" category.^[15] That year was largely spent on the road, and the band played 150 shows.^[10] Early on, the band was active in promoting social causes. Their song "Where the Zero Meets the Fifteen", which brought attention to the cause of homelessness, received some radio airplay.^[10] That October the band embarked on the "Rock Your Socks Off" tour, for which attendees were asked to bring clean socks for donation to local homeless shelters.^[16] In November of 1997 the band released their second album, Our Newest Album Ever!.

Their most significant tour in 1998 was the Ska Against Racism tour, which raised awareness of and money for anti-racism causes.^[10][17] Five Iron was the only openly Christian band on the tour, yet in typical style refrained from using their set as a platform to preach to the crowds.^[18] Later that year, they embarked on the national SkaMania tour with The Insyderz and The OC Supertones. Five Iron found this tour was markedly different for the band in terms of interacting with both the audience and their tourmates due to the fact that both of the other participating bands were Christian bands.^[18] In 1998, songwriter and lead guitarist Scott Kerr left the band on friendly terms and started his own project, Yellow Second.^[19] Kerr had written or co-written most songs on the first three full-length releases. After he left, the band began to explore a wider variety of musical influences, incorporating diverse influences such as Latin and swing music. Kerr's final appearance and the introduction of replacement Sonnie Johnston (of Jeffries Fan Club) occurred at the album release party for the band's first EP, Quantity is Job 1, on November 3, 1998 at the Aztlan Theater in Denver.^{[citation needed]} Mike Park Mike Park is a Korean American musician and progressive activist. ...

They reached the peak of their popularity around 2000, with the release of All The Hype That Money Can Buy.^[7] With the release of Hype, the band continued to diversify their sound, incorporating calypso, salsa, and reggae.^[11] In the summer of 2000 the band toured in South Africa.^[11] Calypso might refer to one of several things: Calypso is the name of a sea nymph in Greek mythology; Calypso music is a style of Caribbean folk music; Calypso is the name of an album sung by Harry Belafonte; Calypso is the name of a moon of Saturn; 53 Kalypso...

Culp's musical direction became prominent, although the composition duties were spread somewhat amongst band members.

In early 2003 Five Iron announced their impending breakup via their web site.^[22] They dedicated their final year to their fans, playing at many major Christian music festivals and releasing Cheeses...(of Nazareth), a collection of joke songs and B-sides, and their final studio album, The End Is Near.

Jesus freak Hideout: What's the story behind the name "Five Iron Frenzy"?
Keith Hoerig: We got the name Five Iron Frenzy from a roommate of most of ours. He was kind of paranoid, and afraid that if he went outside on this particular night he was going to get jumped by some people. He had a golf club to defend himself and he said something to the effect of it being like "putter mayhem". Scott looked at the golf club he was holding, and noting that it was a five iron said, "No, more like a Five Iron Frenzy." The name stuck.^[26]
