Seven Day Sonnet
Seven Day Sonnet is a regional American hard rock group based out of Chicago, Illinois. Started by Anthony Lojeski, Jordon Popp, Steve Floro and Matt Moore after the deterioration of Ziel, a band that had consisted of Anthony, Jordon and Steve.
History
The Beginning
After the disbandment of Ziel, Anthony, Jordon and Steve decided to rejoin to form a new Hard Rock group. Joining them was Matt Moore on lead guitar. They began searching for a singer, resulting in many, many auditions, with little success. Matt quickly left due to personal conflicts, and was replaced with Rick Tauber (of Breaking Through), a longtime friend of Jordon. Rick was an immediate fit to the band, and began contributing to the writing process immediately. Ben joined shortly thereafter, bringing his contributions to the table. A two-song demo was released in November 2007, and was well received in the Chicago music community.
2008 - 7DS Gets Busy
In March 2008, Seven Day Sonnet being playing their first shows. Drawing fans of different genres together, they began making an impact in Chicago and beyond. 7DS entered the studio in April, 2008 to start tracking a new 3-song demo with Shea Villwock of Glasswall Productions. Production wrapped in early May, with the mastering of the demo done with Blaise Barton of JoyRide Studios in Chicago. To be released on July 18th, 2008, the demo consists of "My Day Is Over," "Jamie" and "Ben's Blue Coat." Shortly after completion of the demo, Steve Floro was fired due to conflicts within the band, postponing original plans for a full length album. As of July, 2008 Dan Kashuck was hired to fill the drumming position in the band.
2009 - The Year of Seven Day Sonnet
Seven Day Sonnet will enter the studio on February 16th, 2009 to start tracking their debut full-length album. At the helm of this project is Brett Hestla or Dark New Day and Creed fame. Brett was chosen due to "his experience with this type of music" according to Jordon. The as-yet untitled album is due out sometime in the spring of 2009. No track listing has yet been given.
