5 BILLION AND COUNTING IS A HARD ROCK BAND OUT OF DALLAS TEXAS IS THE BASE OF 4 MEMBERS WHO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS AND GENRES, AS THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT ARTIST! THEY ARE MAINLY INFLUENCED BY BANDS LIKE DEFTONES, MUDVAYNE, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, HEAD-PE, SNOT, AND DREDG; BANDS WHO ALSO HOLD THEIR OWN SOUND! THESE 4 CREATIVE YOUNG MEN WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER BY LEAD/ RYTHEM GUITARIST DELGADO, WHO HAS SPENT HALF HIS LIFE IN MUSIC! THE FIRST MEMBER HE FOUND WAS SEXY EDDIE (DRUMMER), DELGADO AND EDDIE KNEW EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE 5 BILLION AND COUNTING BECAME A BAND! THEY WOULD ALWAYS HAVE JAM SESSIONS AND REALIZED HOW MUCH THEY HAD IN COMMON WITH INFLUENCES AND MUSIC! SO AFTER A FEW JAM SESSIONS LATER THEY STARTED 5 BILLION AND COUNTING! SO AS THEY SEARCHED FOR THE OTHER MISSING PEICES TO THE BAND, THEY CAME ACROSS SEVERAL BASS PLAYERS BEFORE J.T. CAME IN THE PICTURE! DELGADO WAS CONTACTED BY J.T. THROUGH MYSPACE! J.T. LIKED THE SOUND THAT DELGADO AND EDDIE WERE CREATING, AND HE DECIDED TO JOIN THE TWO, AND AS OUR FRIENDSHIP GREW SO DID OUR CREATIVITY, AND MORE MUSIC IDEAS CAME! SO WE FINALLY HAD THE MUSIC DOWN, AND NOW IT WAS TIME TO LOOK FOR A FRONTMAN! COUPLE OF SINGERS LATER, DELGADO SET A MEETING WITH JASON WHO HAD CONTACTED HIM THROUGH CRAIGSLIST! DELGADO HELD ADDITIONS WITH HIMSELF AND THE MANAGER OF THE BAND; THE AUDITITIONS WERE DONE ACOUSTICLY SO THAT DELGADO COULD HEAR EACH LEAD SINGER’S TRUE VOICE BEFORE THERE WAS A DESCICION MADE! DELGADO WAS SOLD THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD JASONS VOICE! JASON HAD THE CREATIVITY THAT DELGADO WAS LOOKING FOR, AND ALSO HAD THE SAME INFLUENCES AND IDEAS AS THE REST OF THE BAND! SO THE 4 MEMBERS WROTE MUSIC, WE ALL LOVE THE WAY THINGS WERE GOING, AND THAT’S HOW 5 BILLION AND COUNTING WAS BORN! DALLAS, BE READY FOR 5 BILLION AND COUNTING, AS WE WILL MELT YOUR FACE OFF WITH THEIR HARD HITTING BEATS, EXPERIMENTAL GUITARS, FUNKED OUT BASS, AND RAP/SING/SCREAMS STYLE VOCALS!
