I am an independent artist sharing my struggles and seeking truth. I write, engineer and produce my own tracks on my iPad.

In an era where rock music continues to fragment into countless subgenres at an ever-increasing pace, the six L.A. area friends in Throwing Seven decided to challenge this notion of being another “scene band” and dedicate their sound to a unique hybrid of melodic, dynamic and eclectic hard rock. Using three guitarists: Paul Gonzalez, Ben Crandell and Eric Jacobson, Throwing Seven has created a harmonically rich sound to back up Jude’s clear and anthemic vocal melodies. Along with Dave Cortez (bass/vocals) and Adam Tice (percussion/vocals) providing a tight and knowledgeable rhythm section, no musical ingredient is left to chance. While focusing on the diversities of rock music, songs from their first release, Hope Forgets To Breathe, have been compared to artists ranging from Guns N’ Roses, the Killers, Linkin Park, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Thrice, Incubus and A Perfect Circle. While deeply appreciative of such comparisons, the band calls the list of artists “a good start” suggesting intent to further develop their sound.

Throwing Seven have proven their musical street credibility by playing several major showcases and festivals, including the 2008 Vans Warped Tour and 2010 SXSW Festival, and have shared stages with national acts including Unwritten Law, Finch, hed(pe), EEK-A-MOUSE, Story of the Year, Escape the Fate, I am Ghost, DITCH and the Kottonmouth Kings. They have headlined and regularly play at well-known Sunset Strip venues such as the Whisky A Go-Go, the Roxy and the Key Club in addition to other Southern California venues like the Glasshouse and House Of Blues, Anaheim. Their live shows are energetic and craft a sense of fervor in any audience they play to, by relying on impassioned stage presence and crowd interaction.

Throwing Seven’s 2009 EP, Hope Forgets To Breathe, features emotionally compelling themes ranging from heartache to rebellion to social angst, perfectly illustrated in songs like “When The Lights Go Out” and “Let It Bleed”. The songwriting is raw, sometimes abstract and always rooted in melody, giving listeners a feeling the band calls “a fresh perspective on familiarity”. The 2010 acoustic EP, Vimana, allowed Throwing Seven even more opportunity for musical growth by the inclusion of orchestration, percussion instruments uncommon for rock music and some creative recording techniques. With an independent release & several festival appearances in 2009, a Southwest U.S. tour & acoustic EP in 2010 & plans for both a full length release AND tour in 2011, Throwing Seven stand ready to take on the world!

THE BELMONDOS, c’est d’abord une histoire de faux frères et de faux « fils de », qui, fin 2007, forment à Paris un vrai gang de faussaires motivés par une même envie : braquer l’héritage sixties des Sonics, Remains ou Zombies, et le distiller avec le meilleur du rock d’aujourd’hui, Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, ou Tame Impala, pour aboutir à ce son unique, pop et mélodique dans l‘écriture, rock et énergique dans l’interprétation. Aujourd’hui, le groupe est de retour avec un nouveau line-up et s’apprête à sortir son deuxième album, « Good Mistakes ».

THE BELMONDOS en quelques dates…
Dès la sortie du premier EP en mai 2008, le groupe est repéré par l’américain Steven Van Zandt (producteur, guitariste de L’E-Street Band de Springsteen, acteur dans la série Les Sopranos). « Awesome Rumble! » est élue « coolest
song of the week » dans sa célèbre émission de radio Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Le show est diffusé sur plus de 200 radios américaines, et dans le monde entier via le web. Deux semaines consécutives, le titre se classe N°2 au Top 40 de l’émission.
Début 2009, THE BELMONDOS participent à la compilation The Coolest Songs In The World, Vol. 8 (Wicked Cool Records). Ils sont également présents sur la compilation Fnac Music Believe, Nouveaux Talents Automne 2008, ainsi que sur les compilations No Way Out ! (Dead By Mono-US) et Do You Sing English? (Naïve).
Andrew Loog Oldham, l’ancien manager des Rolling Stones, cite THE BELMONDOS parmi les nouveaux groupes qui l’ont marqué lors d’une interview parue dans le magazine Rolling Stone de février 2009.
En mars 2010, THE BELMONDOS sortent leur premier album, « Always Rumble! », qui reçoit un accueil très chaleureux de la presse et du public, et tournent un peu partout dans l’hexagone (plus de 100 dates au compteur). Depuis, le groupe semble avoir disparu des radars. En réalité, il peaufine en secret une nouvelle formule, avec des Belmondos tout neufs, encore plus décidés à en découdre. Aujourd’hui, THE BELMONDOS reviennent en force avec un nouvel album, « Good Mistakes »,
dans les bacs le 14 octobre 2016 (distribution Modulor).
