Red7

The formation of RED 7 in late 2012 was the product of three grown men going through an early mid-life crisis. Instead of the usual remedy of taking a mistress and buying a Harley, Brent decided to end his musical hiatus and start the search for new collaborators. After an endless line of "dudes that just wanted to hang out and jam to the same old metal classics" Brent started to lose hope...until his classified ad was answered by brothers, Dan and Matt. The brothers were looking for something more exciting than their "Nickleback does Kraftwerk" cover project (it was not doing as well as expected). Within a week the three of them were jamming and writing songs on a regular basis and decided it was time to be a serious band.

With a handful of greasy, self-made demos in hand RED 7 continued to write and even played a handful of shows in 2013. As summer came to a close the band had a collection of songs that were full of solid riffs, heavy drumming and driving basslines, their lyrics a commentary on society, government, wizards, vikings, dragons and people in general. 

Aggressive touring wasn't in the cards at the time so the band decided to get their music out there by recording it. The guys set to work building a recording studio in a garage using material that they just had laying around. The plan was to record and release an album all by themselves while aiming for the most polished result possible. With the help of a seasoned sound man, RED 7 recorded during the fall and winter months. The process was an emotional rollercoaster ride, full of painful trial and error (mostly error) and a constant test of the band's resolve. Determination and a professional approach got them through to the other side and now their first full length album, "You're Analogue", will be released in June 2014. With a new sense of purpose RED 7 plans to make a name for themselves with a great sounding live show.
