It’s always great to reconnect with stuff that you like, or things that may have been forgotten in this ever changing world we live in today. I had one of those moments today when I put on the first track from LA band, Throwing Seven. Upon listening to it I was brought back to my early college days where I was big in to the alt-rock/nu-numetal scene. I use to listen to stuff from the likes of Finger Eleven, Threes Day Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Finch, Thrice, and the many others who fit that same genre all day long. There was something about the music that was powerful and always got you pumped up and/or motivated.
Throwing Seven’s debut full length album, Hope Forgets to Breathe, does just that. They produce their own unique hybrid of melody infused hard rock. They have shared stages with bands ranging from HED P.E., Protest The Hero, Unwritten Law, Kottonmouth Kings, Yesterdays Rising, Finch, as well as most of the 2008 Warped Tour bands. They have been known to put on an energetic and sonically dense live show with fantastic fans and crowd interaction.
While listening to Hope Forgets to Breathe you will be immediately notice the dense 3-guitar fueled sound that explores the various nuances and subtleties of hard melodic rock. They will transport you to a world of distorted power chords , crazy drum patterns (props to the drummer, Adam Tice, he has some skillz), emotionally compelling vocals and the pop sensibility that is needed to make it in this day and age. Drawing on influences from the post-punk era, including some of the acts I named above, the music is anthemic, energetic and raw–just overall a great listen. Some tracks to check out are “Four for Free,” “Lotus,” “Push” and “When the Lights Go Out”
If your looking for some good new rock music, then Throwing Seven is the band for you, Get this Album!
enjoY!
