The Forty Fives

Atlanta's resident rock revivalists the Forty-Fives consist of guitarist/vocalist Bryan Malone, bassist Mark McMurtry, organist Trey Tidwell, and drummer Adam Renshaw. After spending most of 1999 on tour with like-minded artists such as Link Wray, Wayne Kramer, the Dickies, Pansy Division, and Marky Ramone, the group released their debut album, Get It Together, on Artemis Records in early 2000. Two years later, after a lengthy tour around the country, they stopped at Sun Studios in Memphis and put together their second album. Unfortunately, the band found themselves unhappy with the results, and they re-recorded a good portion of the record before its release. Finally, Fight Dirty was released in the fall of 2002 on Yep Roc. It was followed in 2004 by High Life High Volume.
