Colony 5 is a Swedish futurepop/synthpop band founded in March 1999. P-O Svensson started the band as a hobby with Magnus Löfdahl. The music style has changed with group membership and their sound became more consistent. They have toured through Europe - Denmark, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Poland, Norway, Estonia and even Mexico.[1].
Following a performance at the Quest for Fame contest (they came second)[2], they began recording their first EP, Colony 5, and their first full CD, Lifeline. they released their second single, "Follow Your Heart", then in 2003, the single "Black," and the album Structures, which was featured on NBC Giga. Their output slowed in 2004 and 2005, as they toured eastern Europe. They released a collection of singles called Colonisation and a new album in 2005, Fixed.
The band came in second at the "Quest for Fame" competition and was nominated as "Best Newcomer" at the Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards 2005.[3] And again for Best Band and Best Song (Plastic World) at Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards 2006 which they won.
