biographical info

Seven Story Redhead emerged in the fall of 04’ with a simple goal: to create the leanest, most un-bloated rock-and-roll distilled from the purest pedigree. Think early Kinks and The Who, and then add a healthy dose of The Jam and The Clash - a sort of proto 60’s r&b punk band.

In deference to their ‘do-it-yourself’ ethos, the band knocked off an initial seven song EP, “Super-Fancy Hobo” live in their basement, recorded with two entirely inappropriate microphones which none-the-less made the local campus radio charts.

A second EP, “Live From the Work-At-Home Institute” benefited from having a song featured prominently on X 92.9’s Exposure program. “I Was Yer Mate” received daily commercial airplay for more than five months helping to generate an even broader fan base.

The Redheads third effort, a full length self titled album was released in the fall of 2008 to much acclaim and further radio play.

They just released their fourth album, a 7” EP entitled “Shake It Out!” which has already won them the much coveted X92.9 exposure contest and is charting across Canada.

 The band continues to bounce around Western Canada, playing any stage that will have them and continuously recording new music in their custom built rehearsal/ recording studio. In the band’s words, “The closer you get to awesome, the better it gets”.
