7k excites fans every time they step on stage. The L.A. based band was formed by Jeff Garvin in 2001 along with high school musical partner and bassist Carlos Rivera Jr. Their music is clear cut electrifying with amazing songwriting skills and vocals reminiscent of Ed Kowalczyk of Live. 7K plays a style of alternative hard rock at a level of Live that is unique with Garvin setting high standards as a pronounced vocalist.
The aura that surrounds the band is shocking which is hard to find in music these days. Each and every song has a glow of sensation that is riveting. The way Garvin sings holds your attention as the guitar playing of David Neil Black sets the mood. Black’s playing is in the mold of Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as he plays melodic guitar holding that perfect note with precision. The band has released two prior EP’s before releasing this full-length debut CD “Through The Windshield.”
The opening track “The Wrong Mistake” rips apart the simplest of alternative tunes and shows what the band has achieved in only a short time. The arrangement throughout the CD is superb; it’s a miracle that no other band has stolen material from 7K. The production is top of the line being produced by Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket. “Who Dies First” will give you memories of past John Fogerty tunes. Rockeyez has never received a CD of this quality from an independent band like 7K. We do receive some amazing releases but nothing in the mold of 7K. These guys are a freak of nature, they are sensational.
