==== History ====

Face of Five is an Alternative Rock band from Torrance, California. Not much is known about the band, outside of this information shared in Facebook group posting once:

>This is a awesome band that consists of John Hall on vocals & guitar; Ken Roberts on guitar, production & engineering; and Taylo on keyboards. [[Daniel Amos]] guitarist Greg Flesch wrote the song "Are We So Wise" and plays guitar on here also, along with Kevin Fischer, bass by Jeffery Allen & Ralph Clayton, drums by David Casanova & Tim Pope. Every song on here is awesome, and the musicianship is TOP NOTCH!! The guitar work alone is pretty amazing, but the lyrics & song arrangements are second to none.

One single from 1986 surfaced on ebay, and then a demo from 1990. Outside of those dates, it is unknown when the formed, what happened between 1986 and 1990, and how long they existed after 1990. Ken Roberts is the only person credited on the 1986 single.
