Seven Storey Mountain is an American rock group from Phoenix, Arizona. The group's music is heavily influenced by the early Washington, D.C. post-hardcore scene.〔Andy Hinds, (Seven Storey Mountain ) at Allmusic〕 The band formed in 1994 as a three-piece, featuring singer/guitarist Lance Lammers, bassist Jesse Everhart, and drummer Thomas Lanser. The trio had two releases on indie label Art Monk Construction, a 1996 self-titled E.P. and the 1997 L.P. ''Leper Ethics''.〔Dominic, Serene. (Seven Storeys Underground ). ''Phoenix New Times''. February 22, 1996.〕 The band broke up in early 1997 shortly before the release of Leper Ethics. Despite all the songs being written by Lammers, Everhart and Lanser continued using the name Seven Storey Mountain for a short time, drafting Aaron Wendt as a singer/bassist and Jason Kileen as lead guitarist, with Everhart switching from bass to second guitar.〔Dominic, Serene. (Review: Leper Ethics ). ''Phoenix New Times''. April 24, 1997.〕 Lammers returned to the band later the same year at the request of the group reverting the band back to the original three piece configuration.〔Garcia, Gilbert. (Music Award Nominees ). ''Phoenix New Times'', April 23, 1998.〕 Material recorded by this lineup from 1997-1998 was released on the album ''Based on True Story'' in 2000 by Deep Elm Records.〔(Review ), ''PopMatters''〕〔(Review of ''Based On A True Story'' ), ''Delusions of Adequacy'', 2000.〕 The original lineup of Seven Storey Mountain disbanded in 1998. Lammers formed a new band, which he abbreviated Seven Storey, in 2001. The new lineup, featuring Dave Norwood on bass and Chad Kinney on drums, released ''Dividing By Zero'' on Deep Elm in 2002.〔Mehr, Bob. (Heavy Construction ). ''Phoenix New Times'', May 31, 2001.〕 The band began a national tour with Local H and Injected in November 2001.〔(Local H hits road to push forthcoming album ). livedaily.com. October 24, 2001.〕 Seven Storey disbanded shortly thereafter. A handful of leftover tracks that Lammers recorded on his own were released on a split EP with Brandtson and Camber in 2003. Lammers continued working on new material over the next couple of years and re-adopted the original Seven Storey Mountain moniker for a 2007 album, ''At the Poles'', released on Thick Records. The album was recorded and performed solely by Lammers, and drew comparisons to Frodus and Fugazi.〔(Review of ''At the Poles'' ). ''Alternative Press'', 2007.〕〔(Review of ''At The Poles'' ). ''Space City Rock'', 2007.〕 A new live band played shows from 2005-2007 that featured Rich Van Syckel on bass and Dave King on drums. May of 2015 saw the release of the 7 song EP "A La Mierda". Like "At The Poles" this album was written, performed and recorded by Lammers, this time at Fidelity Unlimited Recording in Portland, OR. ==Discography== *''Seven Storey Mountain'' EP (Art Monk Construction, 1996) *''Leper Ethics'' LP (Art Monk Construction, 1997) *''Based on a True Story'' EP (Deep Elm Records, 2000) *''Dividing By Zero'' LP (Deep Elm Records, 2002) *''At the Poles'' LP (Thick Records, 2007) *''A La Mierda'' EP (Self-Released, 2015) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven Storey Mountain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
