Drummer Jimmy DeGrasso made his live debut with F5 headlining the first Rage Brigade music festival. The event took place at Club Red in Tempe, Arizona on April 19, 2008.\"It was very cool getting back on stage with the band after being in the studio recording this new album these past few months. Jimmy rocked it on drums and it\'s great having him as part of our band. He\'s definitely a good fit in the band and we can\'t wait to get out for more shows, especially as the new album, \'The Reckoning\', release approaches.\"
F5 called in Ellefson\'s longtime rhythm section cohort Jimmy DeGrasso to play drums on the album following the recent departure of original F5 drummer David \"Dabo\" Small.
F5\'s sophomore album, \"The Reckoning\", is due later in the year through OarFin Distribution. The follow-up to 2005\'s \"A Drug for All Seasons\" was produced by Ryan Greene at his Crush Recording facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.
