College radio played us on 200 stations across the US and Canada. On Christian radio so far in 2007 we've had play in 350 markets and hit #1 at M88 Albuquerque NM, Top 5 at YESFM Toledo OH and Top 5 at WBVM Tampa FL. Thanks for all your support at radio and keep the calls going for our new single "Write My Story" which released to radio on 12/1.


Air Five founding members Ben Peeples (songwriter/vocals/guitar) and Michael Segarra (bass/backing vocals) have been friends nearly their entire lives. The group has been a natural progression as their common musical passions grew beyond the typical garage banter into a professional band; touring nationally, securing a label deal and radio play on both Christian and mainstream college stations. The Tennessee based trio completes their sound with Memphis drummer Taylor Carroll.

Their fresh approach to both music and ministry is evident as their music journeys through a deluge of human emotion. From conquering the shackles of hopelessness in "Hold My Hand" to surrendering yourself to God's will in "Write My Story," to the powerful declaration of "Here's Me Letting Go," the band delivers infectious harmonies alongside a rock infused pop bounce, akin to bands like Relient K, Blink 182 and New Found Glory, while carefully establishing their own identity in today's crowded music scene.

Air Five's debut national release "Write My Story" on Audio Frenzy Records (Infinity Music Distribution) captures snapshots of life. "We love punk rock music, and we want to use it to reach others" states Peeples. "See-- our music isn't all about God?it is really music about life from a Christian perspective. I think a lot of people relate to that. We are all Christian guys but we don't feel like it's our calling to preach at people. We simply want to be light to anyone who doesn't know Jesus." The disc was produced by former Audio A member / Dove & Grammy winner Barry Blair (Bleach, Candlefuse) and mixed by Dove & Grammy "Producer of the Year" nominee Brian Hardin (Manic Drive, Paul Alan, Jill Parr, These Five Down).

The first radio single "I Will Carry You" is now spinning on Christian rock radio while a mainstream college radio campaign is underway in the US and Canada. Air Five has appeared with Day of Fire, Krystal Meyers, Eleventyseven, Jill Parr, Last Tuesday and others. "We really believe in Write My Story and its potential to connect with people from all walks of life," offers Peeples' intimately, "When people listen to our album, I hope they have fun, cry, laugh, and relate. We hope it speaks to them in whatever way they need it to."

"We are not concerned with fitting a mold and we aren't offended by comparisons to other bands," says Peeples boldly. "We are simply doing what we love, and trying our best to stay in the center of God's will. Nothing else really matters."

AIR FIVE provides sound/lights/engineer for shows for an additional fee for venues seating up to 2500 people. Be our friends at MySpace.com/air5, shoutlife.com/air5, myccm.org/air5, purevolume/air5, isound.com/air5
