Formed in 1999, The Fifth Line has been determined to be heard. Since the beginning, vocalist, Bernie Medina, guitarist, Javi Jimenez, drummer, Ray Fuentes and former bassist Trey Keng knew that they had something different and they have made it a point to take their music as far as they could. Their music has a range of different emotions, sounds, and moods ranging from very melodic, to intense, and aggressive verses. The Fifth Line is different because their musical and stage presence surpasses those of other local artists.

The band started off playing at bars and clubs in their hometown of Laredo, Texas and quickly gathered a huge fan base. Soon after, they started to play in cities around Texas such as San Antonio, McAllen, San Marcos, Del Rio, Corpus Christi, Austin, and across the border in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

In 2003, The Fifth Line decided to pack up and move to San Antonio where they could have a bigger opportunity to get their music heard. In the last year the band has received a large interest from fans, local artist, bar owners, and Indie labels. In 2004, former bass player Trey Keng left the band to pursue other projects. With the vision of a very strong career ahead, the band recruited friend and bassist, P Cantu. In early 2005 The Fifth Line decided to welcome an additional guitarist to the band and expand the music making. Kept in mind for some time now, the band-recruited guitarist, Manny Ramirez, also of Laredo. Now this very strong, dedicated, and focused band is about to show everyone their style of intense hard rock and outgoing stage presence. This band is sure to leave a big mark in the hard rock scene on San Antonio and other cities as it has done in Laredo.

Due to different aspects of focus the band released Ray Fuentes, and Manny Ramirez. The Fifth Line is currently searching a new drummer.
