Some history of Seven to the Right - by N.L. Belardes
Have you heard the band Seven to the right? You can check them out in my latest Thursday Night War article... go read it. Now read a letter from bassist, Ryan Bright, who tells some of the band's interesting history and punk roots:
...Thank you for giving me the props with the bass solos and such. heh, and I like the bridge in 'Wait a little while' as well, that super speed up it has then to slips comfortably into a groove. it is nice, but let me tell you the future, my friend. We're a 4 piece right now when we play shows but we're a 5 piece waiting to explode at the studio. Well now i'm going to rant on about my history, so i hope you have a good 10 minutes. See, I was in this fast punk band named Pilot Light. Super fast NOFX style melodic newschool punk, and we broke up cause the lead singer/guitar player left us, it kinda broke my heart but whatever. But I kept the same drummer, cause I know i've grown together with his style we've intertwined our talents and are like a symbiotic unit. But, at the same time Pilot Light broke up I heard this wonderful music by this guy Jason Blunt, he's been a friend for years but I didn't take him seriously till I heard his song Rooftops and Pleasure to burn. Oh my goodness, I knew from the instant I heard it that it was the music I drempt of when I was younger. I knew I had to play bass for the rest of my life with this man. And thats what I do. ...so that left me torn, With Milestone which then turned into seven to the right. and Jason with The Age of Louis. Well years go by, members of the age start to ... fall out of society due to some... problems. and so Jason and I are left with these great songs and heads full of Future songs that knock my socks off. So Jason courted my band, and we are now adding Jason and his songs to our band. Making us a 5 piece, with two lead singers, three guitar players. bass and drums. just wait. all I can say is, when it all comes together, you'll hear what I heard when I knew I had found my future... thats why I play bass... to communicate thoughts that cannot be described in words. Such as the beauty of
blades of grass, and such. no words can explain how atoms bond and interact... just sounds and movements...
