Entwined in patch cables, the warm tones of vintage guitar amps, old echo pedals and pinot noir, you will find 5th PROJEKT, weaving their cinematic art-rock.

Formed in 2003 by songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Sködt McNalty and Tara Rice, the band takes inspiration from life, literature and folklore. 5th PROJEKT’s music has been described as ‘one kaleidoscopic orgy of sound’ and explores an ethereal expanse of genres.

The band has received numerous accolades in the underground and independent music community. Their 5 albums to date have been featured on Top 30 college radio charts coast to coast in Canada, as well as on CBC Radio. The band has also garnered invitations to music festivals such as NXNE, CMW, Toronto Indie Week, Rockergrrl, Lupercalia, Otherfolk, as well as music award nominations for the Toronto Independent Music Awards, the Ontario Independent Music Awards and the Orange County Music Awards in California. 5th PROJEKT’s passion for touring has taken them from Ontario to Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia making new friends and fans along the way.

The band is currently finishing the recording of their anticipated new album, “Gamma-Wave Rhythm”.
