Five Times August is the solo act of singer and songwriter Brad Skistimas.
As I said in my previous post about him, he is a great indie musician.
Five Times August is an indie solo act by Brad Skistimas, one of the few truly rebellious musicians around. If Right Said Fred are the punk rock of the pop scene, then Five Times August is the punk rock of the indie scene.
Stairway to Hell
The Covid Era™ has revealed a sad truth about the music industry in that rock ‘n roll has become rock ‘n rollover. The majority of singers and bands, who I would have expected to rage against the machine, ended up bending over and taking it like American idiots.
In fact, some – like Pink – doubled down by marketing the toxic injection for Pfizer and getting paid for it.
Brad joined me on my radio show a week ago and I invited him back to sing a few songs.
Which is precisely what happened and he was brilliant.
