Five Eight artist page: interviews, features and/or performances archived at NPR Music
Rob Hilton reports from Athens, Georgia, on Five Eight, a promising local rock band who's yet to make it big. But that could change with the band's latest release, The Good Nurse. It's a personal album for one of the band members, who wrote most of the songs after suffering a nervous breakdown and later surviving several illnesses in his family. The first pressing of the album sold out in a week.

We continue our Band to Call Your Own series this week with more music picks from NPR listeners. It all started a couple of weeks ago on the All Songs Considered blog when we asked people to tell us about their favorite band that few people have ever heard. We got so many great suggestions we decided to feature more of the standouts this week.
