Five Iron Frenzy Premieres New Video, New Album Available for Pre-Sale

Five Iron Frenzy Premieres New Video, New Album Available for Pre-Sale November 12, 2013

From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who can’t believe he saw a dusting of snow on the ground this morning…

Five Iron Frenzy is one of those musical institutions that created and maintained a rabid fan base during their initial run as a band.  Combining humor, social commentary, and passion for God with a hyper fusion of punk, ska, and hardcore, they broke down barriers into several genres by defying expectations and refusing to be pigeonholed.

So it came as no surprise that, when the band announced in late 2011 they had recorded a new track and were reforming to record a new album and play shows, the internet peed its collective pants.  Their Kickstarter project for the new album was fully funded within 48 hours, and topped out at over $200,000 by the time the project was over.  At the time, it was the most highly funded Kickstarter project in history (it was later outdone by Amanda Palmer and The Grand Theft Orchestra, whose fans funded a project to the tune of nearly $1.2 million).

But the time has finally come.  The new album, Engine of a Million Plots, is completed, and pre-orders are being taken on the band’s online store.  Today, Alternative Press partnered with FIF to premiere the first video from the new album for the song “Zen and the Art of Xenophobia”.

Feast your eyes…
…aaaaaaaaand discuss.
