Band information

Five Star Prison Cell @ the Espy, July 2007

Five Star Prison Cell is a Melbourne band that was put together by ex-Frankenbok vocalist Adam Glynn with Holain and MacDonald of Extra Virgin and Whitworth of Tension. It only made sense that once Glynn left Frankenbok that he would take what he was trying to do there and further develop it. FSPC is an avant-garde technical metal maelstrom that comes across like a mixture of Mr. Bungle and the Dillinger Escape Plan. The band was designed as a one-off recording project but when Extra Virgin came to an end it was decided to continue FSPC and the group has toured with Walk the Earth and Sëbasröckets and supported Spiderbait. The band opened for Arch Enemy in late 2005.

FSPC’s second album Slaves of Virgo was slated for release in late 2006 but was delayed until early March 2007. In the meantime, the band won the 2006 Musicoz Awards in the Metal/Hardcore category. Following publically denouncing their former record label, the band went on a national tour with The Dillinger Escape Plan during mid-2008.

The band will begin recording their third album in March 2010 ahead of a national tour in May.
