Seven Channels is an explosive new modern rock powerhouse that mixes elements of Creed, The Marvelous 3 and Bang Tango. On this, their debut record, they offer up ten modern rock meets power-pop gems that strictly adhere to the 3 ½ radio hit format. With an eye towards infectious hooks, they pile on rich harmonies, ringing guitars and hard hitting drums and bass to create pure ear candy. 

Fans of the Marvelous 3 will find a lot to love here as this CD captures the same raw energy presented with a polished delivery that marks the Marvelous 3's albums and vocalist Kevin Kirkwood could easily pass for Butch Walker's brother. 

Songs like "Superconnected", "Breathe", "Electric Voices" are an easy fit for Modern Rock Radio and are sure hits if program directors have enough sense to spin the songs. Other songs like "Rooftop" and "Helium" take on a more punk meets power-pop feel that offers a nice contrast while remaining true to the band's overall sound.  All together this CD marks a strong debut for Seven Channels and a compelling buy for fans of powerful yet melodic rock.
