The best kept secret in music

"Fucking great" - Gigwise
"I don't think I've heard a rock band whose style comes close to what they threw at us last night" - BBC
"London probably won't get a band like Seven Hours, but they'll find trouble ignoring them when the rest of the country get on board. While the White Stripes play their novelty blues these guys are the real deal" - Designer Magazine
"An air of freshness from the streets, chorus lines that you won't be able to stop singing for weeks....in a nutshell, this band has balls of steel" - The Music asket
"A little gem of a band" - Sandman
"A band with it's roots in funk and motown as much as the mean streets and stages of Leeds" - Print Radio
"Seven Hours stand out with their fusion of funk, reggae, soul, rhythm and blues, and rock....I can imagine there are more than a few people out there who are waiting for a band like Seven Hours to come along. Now, which record label has the guile and initiative to sign these boys up? The queue starts here" - Heathen Angel
"There's nothing ersatz about this, it's unequivocally the real deal.....you know you're on to a winner" - LOGO Magazine
"Raw, obnoxious, alluring, compelling" - Glasswerk
"This is smart, this is sharp, this shambles deceptively and they appear to have Hendrix's little brother on the six stringer... we will book them, you will come, you will love it" - Unpeeled

Bio
Bradford has never been a fashionable place. The backdrop to Rita, Sue and Bob Too, it's where old death metallers and experimental 60s buildings go to die. There's no scene, there's no cool, there's no point. But there is the blues. It's inherent, old school and never outdated.
Seven Hours have grown up in the whiskey-sodden blues underworld of the city's dark and stinking cellar bars with musicians twice and three times their age. It's a different world down there, and it smells funny too. People aren't just playing the blues, they're living the blues. Your age, your occupation, your addiction, chasing a deal or just killing time - nothing matters as long as you're good, you mean it and you don't fuck around. These are the foundations on which Seven Hours stand.
But unlike their unlikely peers, Seven Hours have youth, ambition, and purpose. They're not trapped in a time warp.They've got MTV, HMV, NME and GLC. They don't want to play other people's blues because they've got their own. And any one who's ever been in love, out of love, cheated on, paranoid or brassic will know just where they're coming from...
