Bolt Action Five
Bolt Action Five were a dance-punk/industrial band from London, England, composed of Tobias J Hughes, Ian William Galloway, Holly Murtha and Mark Murphy. They formed in early 2006 from a variety of different members and appeared repeatedly in Artrocker and PlayMusic magazines, as well as in NME, i-D, Disorder Magazine and various online music journals. The band seemed to have difficulty describing their sound, variously categorising themselves as indie rock, electro, industrial pop, dance-punk, or electro-metal. In interviews they listed Devo, Nine Inch Nails, Wire, Prince and Michael Jackson as influences. The band split on 26 March 2008. Members
 Tobias J Hughes – guitar
 Holly Murtha – vocals, keyboards
 Ian William Galloway – bass, keyboards, samplers, drum machines
 Mark Murphy – keyboards, vocals, drum machines
