7th Order is an American progressive rock & roll band whose debut "extended play" CD release, The Lake of Memory, was issued on the Big Island Sounds[1] label.[2] The band has, at various times, been assisted by veteran British guitarist Martin Pugh[3] (of Steamhammer, the 1st Rod Stewart solo album,[4] and Armageddon), drummer Tim Kelliher (of Randy Hansen's Machine Gun), and legendary American rock guitarist Geoff Thorpe[5] (of Vicious Rumors). Reviewers have recognized their particular sound as reminiscent of blues-rock bands like The Rolling Stones & The Yardbirds, with progressive undertones ala Led Zeppelin.[6]

History

7th Order evolved from studio sessions organized in California/Washington between 2000 and 2003 - they have identified their influences to be the blues/rock & roll innovators of the 50's and 60's[7] - in a radio interview on Radio Heemskerk, Netherlands in August 2003,[8] the band discussed spending their young adult lives playing in various bands around the world, crossing paths with icons of the rock & roll scene like Jesse Ed Davis, Mick Taylor, BB King, Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roger McGuinn, Eric Clapton and others (detailed on their Myspace page) before actual 7th Order recording sessions began in 2001.[9]

While 7th Order had received worldwide recognition via radio airplay[10][11][12] exposure since 2003, their progress was reportedly derailed by the death of band member's 23 year old son (by drug overdose) in November 2004.[13] The band then opted to delay their debut release, which finally emerged a few years later, with some incorrect credits on the sleeve...vocalist Daniel Jones (not Daniel Jones of Savage Garden) wrote the material, Martin Pugh and Geoff Thorpe guested on guitars, with sessionmen Ben Hadley on bass and Adam Gross on drums. Confusion about credits and who was 'in the band' emerged as the result of clips from a promotional video segment and resulting promotional photos that were used from the shoot - friends had pitched in for the video (as Thorpe and Pugh were not in town to participate).[14]

Current activities

As far as 7th Order's present status...the band's web site states that songs are being written for a possible follow up CD.[15] Other evidence of what the future for the band may be is found in the ASCAP[16] database, which lists several compositions that are not on the 7th Order debut CD - it therefore seems possible that these previously unknown songs may be destined for a later 7th Order release, as was stated by the DJ in a radio broadcast of the "AIP show" on CKWR in Toronto, Canada[17] on 3/7/09). In addition, a broadcast on 5/1/09 originating from KKCR radio on the Hawaiian island of Kauai featured several station ID promos (seemingly recorded for one of the station's yearly "fund drives"), done by a band member introduced as "...of 7th Order", indicating that the band may plan on future releases. Members are also known to have autographed copies of "The Lake of Memory" CD's for attendees of a benefit motorcyle run[18] for Aseltine School (a school that "helps meet the educational needs of emotionally disturbed and learning disabled students from throughout San Diego County") in San Diego, California - held on July 22, 2011.
