Presenting Sound System Seven, the Fourth-Wave Ska band from Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, here to party with you tonight, Idrens, because the only GOOD system is a SOUND system!
Ska music is more than just Punk Rock with horns. It's the mother of Reggae music and continues to grow and evolve with roots deeply drawing from Jamaican, British, and American cultures. Every kid (and former kid) who marched in the school band is a Ska music fan. Everyone who loves to dance is a Ska music fan, though some just don't know it yet. Ska music welcomes all, from the awkward kid looking for a place to fit in to the adult questioning their own place in the world. Ska is here for you!
No preaching! Sound System Seven's only agenda is having fun. Their energetic performance sets this band of veteran musicians apart from many others. Originals and covers, Sound System Seven's songs showcase thoughtful lyrics written around timely ideas presented in catchy, tuneful arrangements that keep the audience engaged and moving. Nothing on stage detracts or distracts from the clean, clear sound that makes you want to dance or collapse trying.
From annual music festivals like The Carrboro Music Festival or Rockin' For Research to all the best North Carolina music venues like Cat's Cradle, The Pour House, and Neighborhood Theatre, Sound System Seven plays them all — sometimes headlining the events and sometimes sharing the stage with headliners like The Toasters, Dave Wakeling & The English Beat, The Slackers, and The Pietasters.
