In early 2006 two friends Sean Shreeve (Bass) and Jon Hardless (Guitar) began their early careers like most musicians; crafting songs in their bedrooms. Soon the ideals and conventions of a traditional rock band set-up were wearing thin with the duo and they began to look for new and innovative ways to bring their vision of the way bands should sound to a future generation of listeners. Shreeve and Hardless immediately got to work crafting unconventional musical structures and electronic beats on their Playstation while layering lyrics, guitar and bass riffs over the top. Although the band was still in a very premature form the duo managed to convince drummer John Williams to come onboard and after scrapping their Playstation in favour of a laptop the group began honing their unique sound.
After taking to local venues as a three piece the band soon felt something was missing from their live show and recruited vocalist Jason Mirchandani. Spectrum 7 were born! Although the Surrey based quartet have only been in existence for a short while, they have crafted over an albums-worth of material, played over ninety shows and shared stages with the likes of Enter Shikari, Help She Can't Swim, Cage the elephant and embarked on a full national tour with :( (colonopenbracket).
