Well, I was bored and saw the music section and thought. That is something I can talk about lol… Anyways, I am the drummer for a band from Indiana.

http://www.myspace.com/7daysaway

We had one of our songs "Take Me Away" in the Punisher: War Zone movie and soundtrack, the movie Never Surrender, and another of our songs is going to be in a movie Wrong Side of Town starring WWE stars Batista and Rob Van Dam due to release in early 2010. But anyways, listen to us and let me know what you think :)

All criticism is welcome :)

No we haven't been signed yet, we have heard there are labels watching us but haven't heard anything official yet. But we have worked closely with Lionsgate Films.
And yes that is me, my real name is Trey. Alek is a name i picked up on runescape when my friend gave me one of his old accounts and it is now my main. If you need more proof let me know and I will gladly give it.

I'm really glad you think that, so is my singer. He is sitting next to me atm. Breaking Benjamin is one of our biggest influences. You will hear it in the new songs we are getting ready to release. We go into the studio on the 30th to record a couple of new ones.

What are you using to look at it? It's meant for Firefox and it looks/loads weird on anything else.

@RAM… How far north? We don't really get out of the state much and if we do it's usually to Illinois or Ohio for right now. We are busy with the new CD atm

I'm living back in Michigan atm, just outside of Lansing, but if you promise to put on a kick ass show, I'd travel a few hours to see you ;)

We get that a lot actually. After we get everything with the new CD finished and get back on our feet (out of debt basically) we are planning on trying to do a small tour around the country.

Thanks for all of the comments guys, it means a lot to us. Any constructive criticism you would like to give? We are always looking for ways to better ourselves.

To tell you the truth, it just kind of happens really. Usually something comes to one of our guitarists when he is listening to a random song then he will write something, then he will show the other guitarist and bassist. Then I will throw together something on the drums and our singer will start writing as we are playing.

You guys are pretty good. Not really into that type of music (More into Heavier and more Brutal music.) but incredible nonetheless. I noticed right away the influence of Breaking Benjamin and I wondered why you guys haven't been signed yet. Really good guys. Congrats. :D

Don't worry Nava, no one in the band is afraid of airplanes. I myself am afraid of heights but being in a plane doesn't bother me so we are good lol

Edit: For people that are wanting to keep up with 7 Days Away. We decided not to record the next couple of days because we don't have the money right now after paying off my drumset. But I will keep everyone up to date as to what's going on.
