About Me

From the outskirts of Ottawa and places beyond come FAN BELT SEVEN, a young quartet with a fresh and exciting view of the world in which they live.In an effort to combine tightly knit harmonies with driving guitars, FBS blend their small town insight with big city influences to come up with a wonderfully inspiring alterna-rock sound.Drawing musical influences from bands like Limblifter, Matthew Good, Weezer and the Foo Fighters, FBS have come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Armed with the philosophy that no show is too small, they have been very successful in making themselves known to the Ottawa music scene.Over the last few years, the band has had airplay on the Bear (and X-FM), been finalists in the Molson Canadian SnoJam Contest, appeared on the New RO (Now the A Channel) Morning Show, played an acoustic set on the 4th stage at The National Arts Centre and performed on the second stage at The Ottawa Tulip Festival. More recently, FBS placed in the top 10 (out of 566 entries) in the Bear's 11th Annual Songwriting Competition with VAMPIRE HIGHWAY, a track taken from their forthcoming 5 song ep.With ever-increasing fan and industry support, FBS are definitely a musical presence that demands attention. Do you want harmonies? Do you want electrifying guitar riffs? Do you want an excuse to finally throw out all your Weezer albums?My friend, look no further than Ottawa's own Fan Belt Seven...
