Seventh Son:
Seventh was put together by Brothers Kev and Bri O’Shaughnessy in 1980. The idea for Seventh Son was hatched in the King George Hotel in Barnsley, which in the 70’s and 80’s, was the hangout for Barnsley's ‘different’ crowd who listened to the pubs excellent jukebox pumping out Zeppelin, Purple, Floyd, Hendrix, Bowie, T-Rex, Pistols, Clash, Damned etc. The Punk explosion had stirred people into forming their own bands as Seventh Son became part of metal's answer to Punk 'The New Wave of British Heavy Metal' (or N.W.O.B.H.M).
The band’s current line up of Bri, Rick Gregory, Dave Fox and Kev Lee on drums. The 2009 album ‘Spirit World’ can be heard and bought on this website and is also available to buy as vinyl, CD and download .They have continued to play consistently since then and have built up a new following on social media. With 2 EPs recently released, ‘Living On A Time Bomb’ and ‘See Emily Play’, and a new album in the pipeline, the band are still riding the rock juggernaut with a sound and fury!
Syncolima:
Syncolima are a 3 Piece Riff Machine from Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire comprising of Stoff (Bass), Harry (Drums) & Josh (Guitar/Vocals).
They've been around a while under a different guise, name and line-up who encompass a riffing, grooving almost stoner like sound. Expect some fab rolling drumming going down, and throbbing bass work, not to mention tight guitar work and strong vocals.
Syncolima will wake and rock you up without a doubt. See ya there!
