7Tones is a Delhi based band which was formed in january 2010.We All are from the same school except one who joined us later. Since then,we performed in various shows and college fests with our selfcompositions.We do experiments which can very well be heard in our songs.Through our music, we connect with the mass so enthralling all is our main objective. " 7TONES " means the unity among all the band members as all the notes of music are incomplete without each of them. If talked in hindi it can also be called "SAATH SUR".

The previous band of Kamal was going good but things started changing as the other members sought different likes in music changing their inclination towards heavy metal and keeping the band only for festive purpose. Thus the vocalist was secluded and what he wanted to do was not happening but the zeal was still alive which needed to be rekindled. As days were passing, the passion for music was making him numb but luckily he met Probin one of his school mate who was then playing guitar. His inviting me to his house resulted in forming some self compositions which till now had ignited the flame within to form another band. Then came Utpal another school friend who also wanted to give his best towards the new Initiative. Indeed,both Utpal and Probin penned down a wonderful song "Ankhon Mein Ban Gayi" which is still afresh in our mind. Utpal's journey couldn't last long as he had other priorities in life. The hunt for a drummer was on when one fine day Probin landed with a so called Drummerist at my house introducing him as Prabh Nair another junior fellow of our school who pressed that he would certainly meet our expectation. Though an amature then, he was given a chance to join us but the problem was he didn't have a drum set. That too was taken care off when the newly bought Indian drumkit was stationed at the vocalist's house and jamming started. By chance I met Premanjan Bhattacharya another school pal who was a guitarist then,while going to office. The next thing was that I asked him to come the next sunday as some of us had already started jamming. One fine sunday after jamming, Probin told me that he met a fellow named Rajiv who is a guitarist, “Theoretically Sound” and we should once try his capability. Jamming together was going good but we still were missing something i.e a Bass Guitarist. During these incidences my classmate Iqbal hussain started attending the practise sessions and showed his inclination towards playing the Bass Guitar, which finally got fulfilled as we persuaded him to buy one. During that time, the band was going through financial crisis as we didn’t have proper equipments for which some of the band members contributed for buying some equipments.

Now the thought of naming the entire Initiative was of prime concern, and it came from the mind of Iqbal Hussain. Thus the band was christined with the name 7Tones. The name means the unity among all the band members as all the notes of music are incomplete without each of them. If talked in hindi it can also be called "SAATH SUR". As the band was newly formed, we didn’t have any knowledge what genre to concentrate upon but then we thought of keeping “Hindi Rock” as the topic to play.

August was round the corner and our jamming sessions were in it's peak on the rented attic whose expences we all agreed to share. Practising on the roof was going good and our confidence level reached new heights when a promotional photo shoot was done by one of Iqbal's friend. Now the band consists of S.Kamal,Probin,Prabh Nair,Premanjan,Rajiv and Iqbal hussain. With this line up we video recorded two covers and one self composition but still the crave for getting shows was eating us within. Time flew by and the festive season was near and luckily we bagged a couple of shows in Durga Puja in Sep 2009.We started on a good note and plastered our confidence level by also performing in Christmas Carnival followed by performance in New Year’s Eve on 31st Dec 2009 in Indore. However, the new year didn’t start with a happy note as differences cropped up among the band members and the productivity of the band decreased. Premanjan left the band due to his personal problems and Rajiv was asked to leave as it was a joint decision taken by all of us. So now we were 4 members left in the band and the hunt for a lead guitarist was revived again.

Through Orkut, we came in contact with Abhishek Bhandari a college going lad who just started strumming the guitar then. He was being called by us and his potential was knocked. Though an amature, his mingling nature was liked by all of us and he started attending our jam sessions. In july 2010 we got a chance to perform in a charity show for an N.G.O where the band members regained their confidence and started everything altogether. But something else was written in the destiny of 7Tones.Probin started keeping himself more involved in his father’s business due to which his interest was becoming less towards the band. At the end Probin parted from us after giving his best in Durga Puja 2010 and finally four of us were there to take the journey of 7Tones ahead.

---------- A New Era Started ---------

Now it was a mammoth task ahead how we should had continued the journey as already many members chose their different ways. We strategically planned, worked upon weeks and decided what should be our next step and how often we should jam. After few months everybody started jamming at kamal’s house where practicing upon our Self Compositions and taking input’s from each other was our prime concern. During this time kamal’s neighbour invited trouble for us by calling the police. It was an harrowing experience then but we managed somehow. Our jamming still continued with full vigor and we were lucky enough to bag a show on the New Year’s eve of 2010 in Meerut. It was one of the highest paid shows. We never looked back after that and kept on performing in various battle of bands and even won many accolades. It’s been almost 9 to 10 months of our continuous efforts for which we are getting the fruitful results.

We are moving ahead keeping in mind the genres like Rock / Sufi / Fusion and it could very well be heard in our own Self Compositions.Soon we would be coming with our first single “Pari” of our yet to be released album.
