About

So what is this website? And who the heck is R5?
(Click here to skip to the section about our site.

R5.

The short story is that R5 is a band made up of 4 Colorado-born Lynches and their Californian friend. But to the R5Family, R5 is so much more.

First of all, there are the Lynches. There’s Mama and Papa, Stormie and Mark. Then there’s their kids: Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ross, and Ryland. They’ve always had a passion for performing. Even before they formed a band, they were called R5, and would put on performances for their family. They’d act, they’d dance, they’d sing.

Riker, when he was 16, wanted to move to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. The result? The entire family moved to Northridge, California. There they all auditioned for acting and dancing roles. Rocky taught himself to play guitar by watching YouTube videos. Hethen taught Riker and Ross. Before you knew it, all of the Lynches (yes, even Ryland) could play instruments! (Well, Rydel already knew how to play piano.)

The Lynches met Ellington Lee Ratliff at a dance studio. They all became friends, and before long formed a band. They’ve been performing music ever since.

You can learn more about R5’s music here, their videos here, and all the people involved here.

The R5 Fan Pages

The R5 Fan Pages was started by Tamara (aka the person writing this—hi!) in 2013 because she was getting really really tired of not having one site where you could access all things R5. The website started off as a random little boring blog, but soon developed into a full website full of facts, fun, and more!

Our Goal: To create a fun and professional website that the entire R5 Family can access and enjoy.

On this site, there’s a LOT of stuff!

  • Music. On this page, you can find access to ALL of R5’s music. That’s right, all of it. From the Hollywood Records-produced album songs to their covers of songs only performed live, you can count on it. Each song page includes the complete lyrics, YouTube clips you can watch without leaving the website, and tidbits of information.
  • Videos. R5 has a lot of videos about them. This page lets you watch a ton of them. There are music videos, lyric videos (both official and fan-made), interviews, fan videos, acting gigs, and my favorite, R5 TV, which is R5’s little cross of bloopers/behind-the-scenes/and home videos. All of the videos are relly neat to check out, and definitely worth the buffering (speaking of which, one of the videos is CALLED Buffering…check it out under Acting Gigs).
  • Meet R5. Don’t know a thing about the members because you’re new to the R5Family? Or maybe you just want to learn more! This is the place to go! These pages include photos and profiles of Riker, Ellington, Rydel, Rocky, and Ross, as well as some other need-to-know people like Kelly, Stormie, Andre, and of course, Ryland.
  • Community. Don’t underestimate the R5Family. This section may just be the most fun. Here, you can join our fan club, fan listing, chat room, ask questions, or submit a review for an R5 show!
  • Blog. News updates, both about R5 and the R5Family. Here, you’ll find posts about R5Family projects, R5 updates, and everything else that doesn’t fit into the pages! This is a cool section, so check it out on top of everything else!

The website, of course, is run by the #R5Family. You can read about the members of the staff here and even apply to become one here.

      Go set that shit on fire before it brainwashes you.

    R FIVE IS AWSOME

  3. R5_is_4ever September 27, 2014 at 11:10 PM #

    R5sucks, if you have nothing nice to say about R5 then don’t say anything at all. If you don’t like them,don’t listen to them. Simple. But you don’t have to be so nasty about their REAL talent. They are awesome if you like it or not and have achieved so much for those 6 years they’ve been onstage, so be quiet and don’t say anything if you’re gonna be another one of those stupid haters out there. R5 doesn’t deserve to be hated, just like every other band and they are amazing and unique people

    • RossLynchYouSuck November 28, 2014 at 11:27 AM #

      There was already a hater here? Man! I wish I could have met up with him and tag teamed you fangirls.

  4. RossLynchYouSuck November 28, 2014 at 11:26 AM #

    “Smile” is the shittiest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m a hater now..

    • ILoveR5 December 9, 2014 at 11:36 PM #

      If you don’t have anything cool to say about awesome songs then just got off here and don’t comment. Everyone has a right for their opinions but this isn’t the right place for you it be on

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 6:13 AM #

        What “awesome” songs? It’s all shit. None of those assholes could sing if their lives depended on it.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 6:27 AM #

        I’ll tell you what’s shit. YOU ARE! If you don’t like Ross or anyone else then just leave this site and leAve r5 and the fandom alone. They’ve done nothing to you!

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 11:03 AM #

        What do you mean “they did nothing to me”? They burned my ears with their shitty songs and bullshitted autotuned singing, and burned my eyes with their ugly ass faces.

      • ILOVER5 December 13, 2014 at 12:09 PM #

        leave R5 and Ross alone. i’m sure they’re prettier than you and much more kinder

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 12:30 PM #

        No one is uglier than Ross Bitch. He deserves to be laughed at after being set on fire and pushed off a fucking mountain.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 12:54 PM #

        That’s what you and the other haters deserve. I’m glad I don’t know in real life cause you must be a fucking shitty person

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:09 PM #

        Plenty of people like me. And it’s immature of you to wish death on people who did nothing to you (and BTW, Ross Lynch did do something to me).

    • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 1:16 PM #

      Ha! Who?! Some other stupid haters who are just as bad as you?! Don’t to me that I’m immature. You’re the one that hurts peoples feelings, Ross did NOTHING to you so stop blaming them for everything. Maybe you’re the problem but you blame it on innocent amazing people such as r5!

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:18 PM #

        Ross Bitch made my friend commit suicide. He deserves to be fucking hung by his balls (if he has any).

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:22 PM #

        And BTW, I’m not like this in real life. Because in real life, I don’t have to hear about that asshole every damn day.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 1:40 PM #

        Well in real life I don’t have to talk to jerks like you and don’t you dare call me a b**** cause you’re talking bout yourself

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:51 PM #

        Once again, you’ve proven me right.

    • deanda arrellanes May 27, 2015 at 9:14 AM #

      r5 is the greatest band ever i have growwn up with the band i would never say negitive things like you have and if you dont like R5 then dont listen to them 😡

  5. RossLynchYouSuck December 9, 2014 at 2:28 PM #

    Ross Lynch you suck. Please stop singing for the good of mankind.

    • ILoveR5 December 9, 2014 at 11:38 PM #

      Why were you a R5er in the first place if you’re a hater now. What have they ever done to you?! They are all amazing people and for some people they mean the world

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 6:12 AM #

        I was never an R5er. “Smile” was the first “song” I ever heard by that “band”.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 6:25 AM #

        Well don’t say anything. No one made you listen to Smile so you didn’t have to

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 11:02 AM #

        It was in my suggestions for whatever reason. I don’t listen to that type of shit. Ross Lynch deserves to be set on fire and have his head beat with an axe while being laughed at.

      • ILOVER5 December 13, 2014 at 12:08 PM #

        Well that’s what you deserve that

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 12:29 PM #

        No, it’s what Ross Lynch deserves. He’s the fucking Antichrist. Even worse, the Antichrist hates him.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 12:52 PM #

        Well we hate haters so FUCK THE HELL OFF and leave Ross,R5 and the fans alone and get off this site

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:08 PM #

        I must be so offended that a fanpussy of a shitty band hates me. Fuck off and go listen to your shitty band.

    • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 1:12 PM #

      Ok so first off if you don’t like him then why are you on this site?
      Get off this site if the only thing your going to do is hate.Nobody cares what you have to say. More people love Ross then they like you so just be quiet and leave everyone alone. Ross and R5 have never done anything wrong to deserve this!!

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:20 PM #

        Ross Bitch is an asshole. He should be fucking hung and if someone ever does, I want front row tickets to laugh at the worthless piece of shit. He makes Hitler look like a fucking saint.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 1:42 PM #

        I want the front tickets for When you get set alight on fire

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:55 PM #

        Good, you’ll be waiting a long time, because I never made someone commit suicide. You’ve never even seen my face, and you decide you want me set on fire.

    • deanda arrellanes May 27, 2015 at 9:16 AM #

      ross lynch is the most greatest singewer in the world and i suggest that you should leave ross lynch and r5 alone. 😡

  6. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 1:30 PM #

    Explain to me what he has done wrong!You just need to shut up and leave! No one cares what you have to say! You deserve to be hung and lit on fire ! Your just being stupid and an idiot. So just shut up!

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:32 PM #

      He made my friend commit suicide. He deserves to be set on fucking fire.

      • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 1:39 PM #

        How?! Its not his faut he didn’t do anything! Your the one that deserves to be lit on fire not him

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:43 PM #

        He gave her a dirty look at a concert and put her through months of horror. She looked up to him for years and she died because of him.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:51 PM #

        Hitler and Ross lynch are two different people and Ross is the better one. Don’t get history and the present muddled up just cause you hate someone

    • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 1:37 PM #

      Well you’re just making me wanna commit suicide. Leave this place and leave him alone and his family and fans forever

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:41 PM #

        I don’t want you to die, I want to help you and the other fans before that bitch infects you (but it appears you’re too late).

        You want me to leave him alone? HA! What a joke! My friend went to an R-Shit concert and Ross Lynch gave her a dirty look. She tried to shake it off but she committed suicide, Friday, October 19, 2012. If you think he should get away with that it proves your as shitty a human as him.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:12 PM #

        I don’t care if you hate on me for being his fan but leave him alone please. Maybe she just misinterpreted him or she shouldn’t have gone to a concert then.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:15 PM #

        So now you’re telling my friend she shouldn’t have gone to the concert? It’s Ross Bitch that should be dead now, not her.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:28 PM #

        Actually maybe you should be dead for being so hateful

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:47 PM #

        So I should be dead because I hate assholes who destroy people’s lives?

        So, if you hate Hitler, you should be dead as well.

      • deanda arrellanes May 27, 2015 at 9:17 AM #

        i agree with you its her fault shes the one that took her to the concert.

  7. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 1:50 PM #

    Ross would never do that to anyone who is at his concert.Why would he do that to someone? He didn’t do anything. You sure your not just trying to make up some fake stupid story just so you can hate on him?! If claim you don’t want us hurt then leave this site and never say another word about Ross!?

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 1:54 PM #

      Sometimes people do that without noticing. And how do you know what he’s like. You’ve probably never actually talked to him.

      • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 2:03 PM #

        How would you do that without noticing that doesn’t even make sense?
        No I have not talked to him but I know for a fact he would never do anything to hurt anyone.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:07 PM #

        Sometimes people see something and think of it weirdly and give it a look without thinking. But I doubt that was his case. He probably did it out of pure spite for anyone else.

  8. RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:01 PM #

    Once again lol, all you fanbitches prove me right with your absolute need to make everyone agree with you, and you don’t even seem sorry that someone was driven to die. Nope, you try to defend the perpetrator just because you think “it’s against his character” to do shit like that. And my friend even texted me that he did that.

    • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 2:14 PM #

      Oh wow a text. Wow, I so believe that, because a text is the best proof in the world. I do care when someone actually dies not when someone is making up some stupid story just so they can hate. For your information I don’t care. I understand not everybody is gonna like him and I’m fine with that. But when people are idiots and keep their mouths shut and say terrible things about Ross then I do care

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:23 PM #

        So do I and RossLynchSucks don’t forget that the r5 family is stronger than you and the haters cause we’re one family and we’ll stick up for Ross and the others

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:23 PM #

        You just assume I’m making up a story because you don’t want to admit that your idol is an asshole?

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:24 PM #

        Stronger than me? Most of you guys are maybe 11.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:27 PM #

        Actually I know some people who are in their 20s and they love R5, anyway how old are you to even have an opinion about that?!

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:29 PM #

        You’re the asshole. Not Ross or r5

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:29 PM #

        If someone who is 20 likes a band for 10 year olds, I find it kind of pathetic. And I’m 18 if you really care.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:29 PM #

        Why are you even on this site if you hate r5 and Ross so much?!

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:30 PM #

        So driving someone to death, and then not caring doesn’t qualify as being an asshole? If Justin Bieber did it you guys would be all over it in 2 seconds.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:37 PM #

        I don’t care about your fucking opinion. You’re the one that says that her family doesn’t wanna bring it up so why do you bring it up?

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:44 PM #

        And once again, you ignore what matters and try to defend that so called “human”.

  9. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 2:30 PM #

    Your the asshole and I don’t assume I know your making up the story because really a text is the best you have for proof? Your the one that won’t admit your wrong and your an idiot. I’m not eleven, and you think your stronger than the R5 family your not. 1 person versus a thousand.

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:33 PM #

      So once again, you just assume. Based on my comments on the internet, that makes me an asshole. And what else would I have for proof? It was 2 years ago, we’ve moved on. Her parents try not to bring it up anymore.

      And even if my story wasn’t true like you are so insistent on claiming it isn’t, why do you think everyone who dislikes R5 should be killed. And yet you say you respect opinions.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 2:36 PM #

        Cause there’s a difference between just not liking r5 and hating on them

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:43 PM #

        So what you call “hating” on them, means you should be killed. On one of R5’s videos, some fangirl sent a death threat to someone just for saying R5 wasn’t their “taste in music”. So basically, the idea of your fandom is to threaten everyone who isn’t a clone of you in tastes.

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:35 PM #

      And god, I’m so scared of you pathetic R5 fanbitches. All you do is threaten everyone who doesn’t think like you and assume they are lying and just want attention when they have rationale for the way they feel.

      • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 2:46 PM #

        you keep telling me that I’m assuming that your lying because you don’t have any other things to say. And you say you’ve moved on then why keep writing terrible things about Ross?! Oh wow I’m so threatened because your 18 and you think your better than everyone else. I do respect options I don’t respect hateful comments against someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. How many things can you name Justin Bieber has done wrong, You don’t hate on the person who actually has done things wrong but no you hate on someone who’s done nothing wrong

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:48 PM #

        Justin Bieber goes to jail all the time and gets negative publicity. Yet, Ross Lynch gives fans a one-way ticket to suicide and gets treated like a fucking god. I already know what you’re going to say, that I’m just making it up and I should be dead, don’t bother replying.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:50 PM #

        And I wasn’t threatening anyone. You can say I threatened Ross, but I said he deserves to die. If I said “I’m going to kill that bitch” that would be a threat. But either way, it’s true.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 2:57 PM #

        My friend isn’t the only one who died over your shitty band, note that also.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 3:03 PM #

        Well I think I’ll die in a moment just by fucking listening to your unnecessary hate

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:09 PM #

        It was your choice to listen, you could have just left the site, but you chose to reply.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 3:13 PM #

        You shouldn’t have carried on and continued being so nasty, when I hear someone being mean about someone who I really like, I stick up for them because Ross or r5 doesn’t deserve to be treated the way you and the other haters treat them

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:19 PM #

        They do deserve to be treated that way, and what I’ve said about Ross deserving to die is not only true, it’s probably going too easy on him.

  10. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 3:14 PM #

    I will reply and I will continue to til you shut the fuck up and leave this website and leave Ross alone. I don’t care if you threaten him or not. Saying the comments you did are just as bad. How about you just shut the hell up and leave or admit your wrong

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:18 PM #

      Why would I admit I’m wrong when I’m not? Sorry, but this time you’re wrong, Your shitty, untalented singer indirectly told my friend to die and showed no concern when she did. And you’re on here telling me I’m making just so I can have an excuse to hate on him.

    • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 3:21 PM #

      He’s definitely a better person than you. If you let him know through twitter then maybe he would’ve showed concern but how was he supposed to know anything about your friend?!

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:24 PM #

        I don’t have Twitter, it’s an overrated thing anyway. Plus, since he sees no problem with shooting dirty looks at people who admire him, he wouldn’t care to know that they killed themselves because of it.

        How is he a better person? He makes Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin look like saints.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 3:29 PM #

        He didn’t kill millions of people because of their culture, religion, skin colour, if you don’t know the facts don’t say anything

  11. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 3:27 PM #

    You are wrong and I’m right. You can’t assume Ross told her to die from a look. Ever think he was thinking about something? If someone looked at you would you say they were telling you to die? Fine you say your not lying what night was the concert she went to?

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:31 PM #

      She thought he was looking at her, and she took it as “You’re strange”.

  12. R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 3:28 PM #

    And where were they playing?

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:31 PM #

      I don’t fucking know. Why would I know that? It isn’t relevant. It’s like asking the exact spot where each Jew that Adolf Hitler killed died.

      • ILoveR5 December 13, 2014 at 3:34 PM #

        Exactly…..so shut your fucking mouth and don’t mention stuff you don’t have a clue about just like the fact that you don’t know anything about Ross or r5

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:44 PM #

        And if it was Justin Bieber who did, you guys would have been on it three seconds after it happened.

      • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 3:44 PM #

        Yeah so I’m the one that doesn’t know what I’m talking about? Apparently you don’t care about your friend as much as you say you do unless your lying? Just shut the fuck up and leave because you can’t prove anything and your not making a point because you know nothing

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:58 PM #

        You’re telling me I don’t care about my friend because I don’t remember where some shitty band was playing. I care about my friend, not every little detail of what R5 does.

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:42 PM #

      Where they were playing is irrelevant. And I know Ross is an asshole. And that he deserves to be set on fire and have an axe through his spine and a baseball bat through his ribs.

      • R5loverforever December 13, 2014 at 3:55 PM #

        It’s relevant because it’s proving your a fucking bitch and are lying. Stop saying that because you sure Ross is the one that deserves it because it’s you. Your the one that needs to be lit on fire and have a axe throws at your head while your tied down. You never know when to shut up do you? You just keep saying the same thing over and over because your stupid. Ross is a way better, smarter, talented person now then you will be in your entire life

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:56 PM #

        You call me immature, yet you’re saying the same things I’m saying, just changing Ross Bitch to me. The only thing “proven” here, is that R5ers don’t know how to accept opinions.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 3:59 PM #

        And you never provide factual arguments, based on anything except saying I’m a “bitch, idiot, asshole”. What does that prove? That you can’t make an argument?

      • ILoveR5 December 14, 2014 at 1:36 AM #

        You’re the one that calls him a ‘bitch’ and accusing him of something he didn’t do and saying it over and over again

    I clearly can make a better argument than you and unlike you I actually have a reason to say what I’m saying and have proof and I’m not lying. You say you care about people and don’t want to see them hurt? Then why are you hurting the R5 fans? I don’t care what you say about me it doesn’t bother me, I could care less what some hater would say until you start saying things about Ross. Also atleast I don’t repeat the same thing over and over like you

      I need to repeat the same shit because you obviously can’t understand what I say or are just ignoring it.

      Then why am I hurting R5 fans? If you guys are weak enough to get hurt over this shit, then that’s pathetic.

      And don’t be a hypocrite. You’re threatening me, too.

        I understand every single damb thing your saying. What I don’t understand is you. How could someone be so heartless and make up a story just to hurt someone? I’m not threating you. So why don’t you just leave already and realize you lost this argument

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 4:41 PM #

        Sorry, I didn’t lose the argument. It was over when the first reply came in, proving how retarded you are.

      So telling me “You should be set on fire not him”.

      I’m not heartless. What’s heartless is that you call me a liar for hating the guy who indirectly killed someone I care about.

        Your the one that said that’s not a threat.
        I’m calling you l iar because you made up the whole story just to hate on hi

        How do you know I made it up? Your basis is that I don’t know the location and date of the concert. I care about the aftermath, not the fucking concert.

      • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 4:48 PM #

        And if that isn’t a threat when you say it, I wasn’t threatening anyone either.

    then I’m assuming she was a fan because she went to the concert. Then why did she hurt herself from the look?

    • RossLynchYouSuck December 13, 2014 at 4:58 PM #

      She thought Ross was looking down on her. And he probably was, since he thinks he’s such a god and that everyone else has to worship him.

        Ok how do you know he wasn’t looking at her because he thought she was cute?
