“It’s so crispy and crunchy, with that pop sense that puts a spring in your step while you strut in the dusky neon sunset…I feel like I could be describing a breakfast cereal. A delectable chocolatey cosmic crunch cereal of the utmost rarity, meant to be enjoyed with a bowl of fresh red wine. That’s the other drunken warble ingredient poured throughout the new James the Fifth album “Days Of Wine”. It’s full of funky bass lines, fuzzy guitar riffs and drums that make you feel like getting up and grooving.” - Mutation Records
“James The Fifth’s debut record ‘Days Of Wine’ is an ultra sweet collaboration of Art-Pop, Psych-Rock and Funk, with no shortage of feel-good pop sensibilities. After releasing a handful of singles and working on self-directed music videos with comedy and musical veterans such as Brent Weinbach, Tommy Midnight and the infamous Austin Powers impersonator, Richard Halpern, James The Fifth is well on his way to mastering the equilibrium of comedy and music on Days Of Wine.” - Tearjerk Records
