Stemming from Bristol, a suburb of Hartford, Connecticut, 7july is a modern rock band that delivers. Influenced by bands such as Alice in Chains and Live, 7july prides itself on creating diverse and dynamic music.

7july's debut release, Pedestal, (J-Bird Records) is a tribute to 7july's quest to define itself; or maybe, it's a commitment to the opposite. Pedestal is filled with fervent lyrics and soul splintering rhythms found in songs like 'Ruined', 'Dream', and 'Pedestal'; songs that can lift you up and then smash your teeth to the pavement. 7july is actively promoting Pedestal, via radio, the World Wide Web (www.7july.com), and with live performances around the state.

The four members of 7july, Carl Blais (guitar), James Blais (vocal and bass guitar), Mike Mastroianni (lead guitar), and Craig Chawner (drums) have been performing and writing together since the early nineties. 7july was formed in the summer of 1994, and has been committed to their music ever since.

In the fall of 1997, 7july entered Trod-Nossel Studios in Wallingford, Connecticut and laid down the 12 tracks that would eventually be released as Pedestal, on J-Bird Records. Currently the band is performing in support of Pedestal, and has already begun recording tracks for a future release.
