Band Bio
Attempting to sum up a band like Seven Years On in a few catchy paragraphs is much like trying to nail jelly to a wall (admittedly I've never tried the jelly thing, but I would imagine it to be quite difficult). It's even harder when it's a band that manages to twist their vastly different musical backgrounds into compelling rock music that manages to be dark, pretty and melodic. Rest assured that there's a little bit of scuffed up pop goodness in the mix, fighting it out with noisy guitars and taut rhythms. Three members of the band used to play in Latitude Blue, who played lots of gigs and were lucky enough to work with Deep Elm and some other nice label people.
After the demise of Latitude Blue, Gareth, Neil and Phil embarked on a few wilderness months of playing with new bands and becoming session whores. This didn't work out so well for the intrepid threesome, so after a slurred drinking session it was decided that a new project was the way forward. This still seemed like a good idea the next day, so Seven Years On was born. For as long as we can remember Gareth (vocals/guitar) had been stockpiling songs and ideas, maybe due to his secret desire to become the new Linda Perry and write anthems for the likes of Christina and Pink.
Either way, Neil (guitar/vocals) and Phil (bass) had signed up to add their deft touch to this batch of addictive, yet stylistically diverse tunes. Taking cues from everyone from Pavement to The Who, things were starting to get interesting, but they needed a beat. Fortunately their good friend Andy (drums) jumped on board to make things that little bit more special.
As you read this, Seven Years On are in the cycle of practising, writing and recording songs whilst playing as many shows as they can book. If you'd like to help, say hello, or let them know if you can actually nail jelly to a wall then drop a mail to: sevenyearson@gmail.com
