Bolt Action Five Biography

Bolt Action Five were a dancepunk/industrial band from London, England, composed of Tobias J Hughes, Ian William Galloway, Dan "The Carnivore" Murtha and Mark Murphy. They formed in early 2006 from a variety of different members and appeared repeatedly in Artrocker and PlayMusic magazines, as well as in NME, i-D, Disorder Magazine and various online music journals.

The band seemed to have difficulty describing their sound, variously categorising themselves as indie/electro, industro-pop, dance punk, or electro-metal. and in interviews listed influences as Devo, Nine Inch Nails, Wire, Prince and Michael Jackson.

The band split on March 26, 2008 and are working on new projects. Ian William Galloway, Tobias Hughes and Mark Murphy have formed the band FABLES. Dan Murtha has a solo project, Danimal Kingdom, and performs live with Kissy Sell Out.
