The R5 story begins almost a decade ago in Littleton, Colorado, where the Lynch siblings grew up. Thanks to a steady diet of Elvis, Beatles and Rolling Stones the Lynchs started taking music seriously. 2007 marks a new beginning for them in Los Angeles, getting their careers going in acting, dance, music and commercials. But forming a band of their own took precedence. In 2009, after their friend’s Ratliff incorporation, R5 self-released an EP and in 2012 they signed a record deal with Hollywood Records.
Meanwhile Riker and Ross each found success on television. Riker became Jeff, one of the member of The Warblers, the a cappella group featured in Glee, while Ross stars in his own series, Austin & Ally, now in its third season on the Disney Channel. That led to Ross’ lead role in the 2013 Disney Channel original movie Teen Beach Movie. But none of the success deterred R5 from its central focus. For much of the last two years, the band honed its performing chops, headlining and selling-out shows across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. In their biggest show to date, the band played for a resounding 16,000 screaming fans.
R5 have just released in Spain a 6-song EP titled ‘Loud EP1’, the first part of their record release, and on April 7th will arrive the second one, 'Loud EP2', with more songs and extra content. Between the recordings, touring and TV, R5 now boasts more than 7 million YouTube views, 700,000 Facebook likes, more than 150,000 Instagram followers and more than 2 million combined Twitter followers.
