- Five Iron Frenzy (also known as Five Iron or FIF) was a Christian ska band formed in Denver, Colorado in 1995 and disbanded in 2003. The band's music was most heavily influenced by ska and punk rock, but their influences also include heavy metal. The band was signed to 5 Minute Walk in 1996, and stayed with the label for nine of its releases. Two other albums were self-released, and another was released through Asian Man Records. The band never received any significant music industry awards, and received relatively little attention in mainstream media. Their biggest national exposure came when their song, "Oh, Canada", appeared on the TV series Boston Legal (in which Shatner stars) in October 2005, almost two years after their last show. Over the course of their career they sold close to one million units in total. They were known for their positive lyrics and energetic live shows. They often performed their concerts while wearing full costumes; on one tour the entire band wore Star Trek uniforms. The band was known for their themed tours, sometimes using them to raise awareness for social causes. On more than one tour they told fans to bring sock puppets on stage and help sing along. The socks, and fresh-bought socks alike, were then donated to a local homeless shelter. Their fan base was diverse, ranging from the socially and religiously outcast to the parents of teenage fans. The band played shows at both churches and secular venues throughout their career. The band's name began as an inside joke, and the band was generally known for their humour, displayed throughout their albums and on stage. Recurring lyrical themes included the continuing injustices done to Native Americans, the evils of consumerism, Christian hypocrisy, the shortcomings of the band, and the joy of finding renewal in their Christian faith.

- Five Iron Frenzy es una banda procedente de Denver, Colorado (EEUU) que técnicamente se engloba en el género musical Ska de la tercera oleada (mediados de los 90). No obstante una da las características de esta peculiar banda es su tendencia a experimentar/mezclar diversos estilos con resultados asombrosos: ska tradicional, reggae, rock and roll, hardcore/punk, trash/metal, pachanga, rap.. un poco de todo. Dos son los rasgos que caracterizan a FIF: Tendencias cristianas. Todos los miembros de la banda son de religión cristiana y muchas de sus canciones, la mayoría, son de alabanza. No obstante distan mucho de ser el tipo de música que puede escucharse en una iglesia. Presencia escénica. Además de cristianos, los miembros de la banda son DIVERTIDOS y realizan toda clase de gags y chistes sobre el escenario (disfrazados con cierta frecuencia).

Dois outros álbuns foram lançamentos independentes e um outro pela Asian Man Records. A banda nunca recebeu um importante prémio da música, tendo mesmo recebido pouca cobertura por parte dos media. O seu ponto mais alto a nível nacional, foi quando a sua canção "Oh, Canada", apareceu na série de televisão Boston Legal (com Shatner no elenco) em Outubro de 2005, quase dois anos depois do seu último concerto. Eles eram conhecidos pelas suas letras positivas e concertos muito energéticos. Normalmente usavam em palco fato completo (principalmente o vocalista Reese Roper); durante uma torné, toda a banda usou os uniformes utilizados na série de televisão Star Trek. Nas tornés, usavam temas, muitas vezes com objectivo de abrir a consciência social. Em muitas das letras incluíam as injustiças cometidas aos nativos americanos, ao abuso do consumismo, à hipocrisia do cristianismo, bem como à renovação da fé cristã.

- "My original goal for Five Iron was just to be a good local band... I don't think any of us saw this coming."
- "We decided to do this [tour] rather than just quit suddenly, because we wanted to say thank you to our fans and say goodbye as well."
- "We don't belong just in the Christian market, preaching to the choir. I think we definitely have a call to reach the lost, to people that don't know about Christ..."
