I was recently on holiday in the USA and I wondered why Glasgow’s 2Sevens kept popping into my head as I’d never actually heard any of their music. It was only when I got home I realised it was an unconscious observational moment – the bands original logo was based on the US 7 Eleven retail stores chain…
Well, I can now say I have heard the band’s music, with the band releasing their debut EP, physical copies of which will be available at the bands upcoming gigs.
Not for Resale
The band make a thoroughly enjoyable punk rock noise, I Can’t Take It launching the 3 tracks with persistent riffing, Into You builds to a crescendo from its initial understated bass and drums (not to be mistaken with drum and bass) intro. Final track, Your Song, no, not that one, being my personal favourite on the EP with what appears to me to have a bit of a SLF/Skids influence with its insistent infectious riffing and football-chant type refrain.
Gig
If you want to catch these songs live and grab yourself a physical copy of the band’s EP get down to The Ice Box tomorrow night (14th June) and catch the band supporting The Spangles, alongside Rocketflair and Matty James Cassidy. Based on The Spangles fantastic album Sweet FA and on first listen to this 2Sevens EP, it is set to be a great night.
