Anglo-American indie rock band known for the albums Bend to the Breaks and Speak Your Language, and for the single Who featuring Agyness Deyn.

Style aligned with indie rock/post-punk revival; widely compared to The Jam and The Strokes. Releases include Bend to the Breaks and Speak Your Language. Collaborated with Agyness Deyn on the single Who.

Targetski’s review pegs Five O'Clock Heroes as Jam/Clash/Strokes devotees with little originality but big, fizzy hooks. Bend to the Breaks races by on brisk riffs, upbeat rhythms and carefree summer swagger. Standouts include Time On My Hands, Head Games, Run To Her and Skin Deep. Fun, unpretentious, and built for the dancefloor.
