The Forty-Fives are a hellraising, rough and tumble, rock-n-roll combo from Atlanta, GA. 

Having started up back in 1998, guitarist Bryan G. Malone, bassist Mark McMurtry, and drummer Adam Renshaw worked tirelessly honing their sound as a trio. The band ingested and spewed all the best of early rock and roll, including Kinks and Beatles-era hooks, the explosive live delivery of the Who and the MC5, and enough smarts to make it all cohesive. A bit later, Trey Tidwell rounded the band out, playing the crazy Hammond B-3 sounds.

This formative Forty-Fives line-up would then soon be in the studio recording demos for what would become the Get It Together LP (Ng Records, 2000). After a relatively quick in-and-out to the studio netted the material they needed for the record, the band hit the road. Soon they were opening for the likes of Link Wray, Andre Williams, Wayne Kramer, Marky Ramone, The Real Kids, The Dickies, The Fleshtones, etc. Out on the trail, the local press began to issue forth seals of approval.
