December 7, 2001 – After a successful U.S. tour with Alien Ant Farm, Pressures 4-5 are now on the road with Hoobastank in support of their DreamWorks debut Burning the Process. This four-week trek kicked off November 29 in Seattle and wraps up December 22 in Dallas, taking the group to markets including San Francisco, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and New Orleans.

On Burning the Process, Pressure 4-5 sing about work, faith, friends, love, and the need for resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges. The group's first single, "Beat the World," has hit active and modern rock radio nationwide. It's currently bulleted at #39 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, while the album is bulleted at #24 on the "Heatseakers" chart. The Marc Webb-directed video for "Beat The World" is in rotation at MTV and MTV2.

Composed in the wake of the sudden death of frontman Adam Rich's best friend, the track "started out as personal writing and eventually turned into a song," Rich explains. "I wanted to write about this event in a way that was more uplifting than 'fuck the world' kind of angst. We all know the world is a fucked-up place, but you can't just turn your back on it. You've got to work with what you have, overcome it and be a better person for it."
