Overview: Like much of Five Star Iris's self-titled debut album, the anthemic first single "Let It All Out" is a showcase for the Atlanta-based quartet's soulful rock melodies, sharp songwriting and searching lyrics. Winner of the prestigious United Kingdom Songwriting Contest, the lyrics comment on the everyday struggle to relate to one another, a recurring theme on the album. "My father used to say that communication makes friends and a lack of communication makes enemies," recalls Alan Schaefer, Five Star Iris's lead singer and guitarist. "It's an interesting concept from a songwriting perspective because people not knowing how to express themselves has caused everything from broken hearts to wars." Five Star Iris has opened for bands like Hinder, Rocco Deluca, Switchfoot, Fuel, and Collective Soul.
