RexDarr Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey everyone, I play in a 3 piece hard rock band called 7's Wild. Our biggest influences are AC/DC, Airbourne, and Motörhead. We've been together since November 2013 and have played 5 shows since then. Here are a few videos. What do you guys think?

We will be recording an album this year: https://m.facebook.com/pages/7s-Wild/593653970698663?ref=stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you go down in the bars there and you get re-booked, you must be doing things right for the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allons-y! Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does the singer make himself sound like that or is it his voice? I ask because it doesn't sound natural. Music sounded pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadofsix Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I enjoyed it with one small caveat: in addition to being a bass player, I'm also a singer. I've fronted for many a band over the years. You guys have an exciting and vibrant stage appearance, but you need a different vocalist. Frankly, the stage show might become the stuff of legend if you add a good front-man who's got a good voice AND who's NOT a pr*ck. Not an easy task, I know, but one worthy of putting some time into. <><Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I reckon I could enjoy that. Shame you'ver only got low quality audio on those videos, its kinda hard to say whether I like the singer or not. Might have to check your album out when it comes/.

steantval Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sounds OK to me. One concern would be you have only gigged 5 times since November 2013. You need to get out more, I'm surprised the band is still together with that very small amount of gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexDarr Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 We had a bit of a hiatus. Each member had something on the go so we put the band on the back burner while we all sorted things out. We reunited back in July and we've played 4 shows since then. We're always getting asked by the bars to play future gigs. We've already headlined a gig and the bar was 120 people over capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlank Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's OK. The first 2 songs would get me liking your band but "Dogfight" is a rocker. You guys take me back to 1981 when I was going to Saxon, Diamond Head, Demon gigs and having a great time. Your tunes are very NWOBHM. If you play some gigs in Wales you can stay at my place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_of_British_Heavy_Metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My thoughts exactly, I like your band and your sound, but I don't get why you have only played 5 shows since 2013?That's a week a shows for some bar bands. Are you like some younger bands where gigging isn't important? Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the band is not a priority with all members, that's too bad because I think you guys rock. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Listened to the Dogfight tracks and the gtr chords at the beginning set a nice tone. Good energy but the singer is not my thing as that sort of vocal is a bit limiting and wearing.. Still, never did AC/DC any harm..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrig Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I love the sound and the energy of the band, but the singers voice is just too much for me I'm afraid. Get a good frontman who can really sing, and you would certainly be a band that I would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pretty good for what it is. The singer needs to hone his craft though. It's all there but it's messy. He's doing it all too fast. Trying to fit too much into each minute. While I understand its a high octane performance it doesn't need to be so full on all the time. The songs are great but for me it's a case of "the singer not the song". Good luck with the album though. Hopefully the album and studio time will give the vocalist some time to deliver the songs in a more considered manner. The voice is obviously not natural so I'm sure he could put on a more discernible performance whilst not losing any of the minerals if you know what I mean.

dadofsix Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I agree that some studio time (and time with a good producer) may give the singer time to hone his craft. Some of my favorite vocalists of all time have had, shall we say, less than perfect voices. But it's what they did with that imperfect voice that made the impact on me. Is the singer "teachable," I wonder? Or is he, in his own mind, a "finished work?" I hope he's open to learning ways to expand his vocal abilities. Regards and a sincere best of luck!
