MEDIA REVIEWS



-Review of "The Clown" by Revolt Productions
With an open mind and ear I sat down to listen to and review the song entitled "The Clown" by the band Seeing Seven.
Seeing Seven is a local group from the Union area featuring Thomas Walton on vocals and guitar, Jim Draper on guitar, Frank Walton on bass and vocals and Joseph Gan on drums. The band list's such artists as Glassjaw, Coheed and Cambria, Incubus, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin as influences, and I could detect something from all these great groups in this one dynamic song. The first thing I noticed while listening was how smooth and professional the band sounds. Thomas' voice is one of the best I've heard in local music and he doesn't shy away from showing his range is this track. The guitars, at first, almost lure you into a dream like atmosphere before kicking in and driving your heartbeat right up alongside the soaring vocals. It's bands like this that show St.Louis has something to offer the national music scene and remind us of a time when "alternative" music meant something unique and exciting. Seeing Seven show that you don't have to sacrifice song writing for acceptance. Focus on what you are playing, not what you are wearing. A fan base built through honesty and creativity will never abandon you.
