“…I think our friends at home thought what we were doing was “so cool,” while we also had an itch somedays not to be eating fast food and driving across the vast nothingness of America…”
– The Six Sevens
The Six Sevens formed in Santa Barbara and made the trip up North to settle in the hippy city, San Francisco (when they are not out on the road doing a string of shows). The indie rock band has recently released a new song titled “fomo” which is a serious banger especially for an alt-rock fan. The song is about traveling across the United States in cramped cars as a band while couch surfing and driving through the middle of no where, and…the fear of missing out. The song features extremely catchy vocal melodies with lyrics that give listeners insight to what it’s like to be in a touring indie rock band on the verge of success. The lyrics take all who listen on an adventure and for a moment you get to experience life in a band. The song is made complete with pounding and crashing drums and great instrumentation. This Six Sevens really capture the chemistry and magic in the recording studio together. We can’t wait to hear what they come up with next! “fomo” is off of their 9 song record titled “Watch Your Head.”
Buy the record on BandCamp now:
“The name of the track comes from the fear of missing out, which is a very prevalent theme these days now that everyone knows what everyone else is doing at the extent of your fingertips. Traveling across the country, despite how rewarding it is, is very difficult. Especially with your bandmates, it’s often hot, sweaty, cramped and there’s a whole lot of nothing in the U.S. in between those big cities. We took this trip the summer after graduating college and I think our friends at home thought what we were doing was “so cool,” while we also had an itch somedays not to be eating fast food and driving across the vast nothingness of America. The grass is always greener, but the song is a reminder to remember to enjoy where you’re at and its the little things you look back on that make you laugh and are the things you’ll remember later on. It’s the opening track from our debut record “Watch Ur Head” and we’re really excited about it.”
