Five.Bolt.Main came together after Flaw was dropped from Universal Records in 2004. Chris Volz met with now ex-Five.Bolt.Main members Ivan Arnold and Ben Patrick – whom both were part of Flaw prior to their breakthrough album Through the Eyes (2001). At the time, both Ivan and Ben were in a project called “Silent Q”, which by the time Flaw disbanded, had enough material written to put an album together. Silent Q included guitarists Aaron Welenken and Jason Chandler. At this point Chris joined the band, which was tentatively titled “Vent”, but was later changed to “Five. Bolt.Main” due to legal reasons. Within 7 months the band had scored themselves a record deal with independent label Rock Ridge Music.
Five.Bolt.Main’s debut album Venting was released on September 13, 2005. The band has gone through several line-up changes since its release. Roughly a month after the album was released, members Jason Chandler, Ben Patrick and Aaron Weleken left the group. Rock Ridge Music claimed “musical differences” and “unforeseen rigors of the road” as the reasons for leaving. However, the exiting members cited Chris Volz’s alcohol and drug abuse. Kobie Jackson (Primer 55), Alex Cando (Darwin’s Waiting Room) and Ronny Paige were recruited to fill in, with Alex and Ronny later staying on a permanent basis. To date, the album has sold nearly 25,000 copies which some would consider to be a decent amount due to the lack of exposure the band had.
June 2006 also saw the departure of Ivan Arnold, who left the group to pursue other interests.

yeah they're definitely better than any of the other Flaw spinoffs, but I'd much rather have Flaw back. Endagered Species is one of the best albums...e ver... and this just can't compete.
