Bill Skins Fifth hails from Salo, Finland. Founded in early 2008 by Timo Heikkilä, Henrik Hömppi and Aamos Ylönen.
After spending the whole year 2008 writing songs and having their first 2-song demo done, they still hadn't found a bass player to fill the gap in band's line-up.

In 2009 Marko Krzywacki joined in as a session basist for a couple of shows, but the band wasn't able to find a permanent bass player until fall when Sami Kuusisto joined in.

In the end of 2009 Bill Skins Fifth hit the studio for a second time to record their upcoming debut EP Act One. It was released in the spring of 2010 and recieved a lot of good reception from media and fans.

In the fall of the same year Bill Skins Fifth joined Metallia Perkele Tour to tour with bands like Subscribe, Grendel and Kiana in Finland and other European countries.

In the beginning of 2011 BSF headed to the studio to record their second EP From What Lies Beneath, released in April 23rd. The EP was critically acclaimed in Finland and abroad and their first official BSF music video was made for the song Falsemation in the Fall of 2011.

As a sad turn of events Sami Kuusisto left the band in the beginning of 2012 due his lack of time, after releasing a new single "21st Century Wasteland".
