Pressure 4-5 formed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1998 and made exactly one album, Burning the Process, released in October 2001, with "Beat the World" as the track that took them to rock radio. They recorded for DreamWorks Records, and they arrived in the thick of the nu metal gold rush, which made the tag hard to dodge.
They tried anyway. The band insisted they were no metal act, just a heavy rock band with thoughtful, inward-looking lyrics, and they took pains to distance themselves from the rap-rock slogans everyone else was chanting. On record that translates into thick, churning guitars wrapped around songs with more brooding than bluster.
They toured behind the album into 2002, and then it was over: most of the members drifted off into lives outside music, and Pressure 4-5 quietly came apart.
