In
October, 1998, Returning empty soda cans became more than a gift to
the environment and a way to get your change back. It put a name on a
newly-formed three-piece Pop-Punk band fresh from Long Island.
Struggling to make ends meet for funding rehearsal time, the band
turned in soda cans in exchange for a name which couldn't be more well
suited - "5¢ Deposit". Founding members, John L. (guitars-vocals),
Lieber (drums), and Newest addition Chris King (bass), Create their
unique , Power-Pop Punk sound exuding the vigorous energy and raw
talent which makes "5¢ Deposit" stand above the crowd. Influences
range from 50's & 60's rock and roll to bands such as Green Day, NOFX,
and The Ramones. "5¢ Deposit" has developed a flavor all their own,
establishing recognition by playing countless shows, placement on
several compilation CD's and airplay on various radio stations. A band
devoted to what they do, with fans devoted to what they create, "5¢
Deposit" is sure to make a lasting impression on the Pop-Punk scene.
