5 Songs (Seether EP)

5 Songs is an extended play (EP) by the South African rock band Seether, released in February 2002, shortly before their debut album Disclaimer. It served as an introduction to the band's sound for a wider American audience following their signing to Wind-up Records. The EP features five tracks that showcase the band's grunge and post-grunge influences. Notably, it contains an early version of "Broken," which later became a significant hit for the band in a re-recorded and re-arranged version featuring Amy Lee of Evanescence. The other tracks provide a glimpse into Seether's raw and energetic early sound, characterized by heavy guitars and Shaun Morgan's distinctive vocals. The 5 Songs EP is now considered a collectible item by fans and offers a snapshot of Seether's development before their breakthrough success.
