User:Throwing Seven

Throwing Seven are six friends from L.A. who produce a unique hybrid of melody-infused hard rock. Using three guitarists: Paul Gonzalez, Ben Crandell and Eric Jacobson, they have created a harmonically dense sound to back up Jude’s clear and anthemic vocal melodies along with Dave Cortez (bass/vocals) and Adam Tice (percussion/vocals) providing a tight rhythm section. Their songs have elements and influences ranging from Guns N’ Roses, the Killers, Linkin Park, Radiohead, Thrice and A Perfect Circle all thrown into a blender.

Throwing Seven have proven their musical street credibility by playing several major showcases and festivals, including the 2008 Vans Warped Tour and 2010 SXSW Festival, and have shared stages with national acts including Finch, hed(pe) and the Kottonmouth Kings. They have headlined and regularly play at well-known Sunset Strip venues such as the Whisky A Go-Go, the Roxy and the Key Club in addition to other Southern California venues like the Glasshouse and House Of Blues, Anaheim. Their live shows are energetic and craft a sense of fervor in any audience they play to, by relying on impassioned stage presence and crowd interaction.

Throwing Seven’s 2009 EP, Hope Forgets To Breathe, features emotionally compelling themes ranging from heartache to rebellion to social angst, perfectly illustrated in songs like “When The Lights Go Out” and “Let It Bleed”. The songwriting is raw, sometimes abstract and always rooted in melody, giving listeners the feeling of a knock-out punch. The band signed with the now-defunct indie label, Planet L.A. Records in 2009, and in 2010, embarked on their first tour through the Southwestern U.S.
