"Seven Years On are a band that has generated a lot of buzz recently and we were about to be shown exactly why so many people are tipping them for bigger things. This four piece ran through an energetic set of brilliantly crafted songs that sit somewhere between rock and indie, they create a wonderful balance of light and shade, power and restraint and they damned near blew off the collective socks off of the audience. How many people who were there can honestly say that they didn’t go home singing..â€its not impossible..â€? Well can you?"

Starting Fires
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 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.
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: [email protected]
