Five Pointe O

Chicago rap metallist Five Pointe O consists of members Casey Mejia (keyboards), Daniel Struble (vocals), Eric Wood (guitars), Sean Pavey (bass), Sharon Grzelinski (guitars), and Tony Starcevich (drums). By 2001, the sextet had issued a pair of albums: a self-titled four-song EP and the full-length The Other Side, building up a following in the Midwest with their rage-filled rap. Five Pointe O signed to the Roadrunner label in 2001 and released their debut album the next spring. ~ Greg Prato
