Stock
7 developed in 1996 when the unnamed duet of drummer Joe Lombardi
and rhythm guitarist Anthony Albano joined with bassist Stephen
Previte and lead guitarist/singer Joe Maraio. The group’s
style is hard to categorize; ranging from hardcore punk to contemporary
rap/metal. As the band’s lyrics are aggressive and emotional
a heavy and powerful rhythm section back them up. In 1998 Stock
7 was chosen to compete in local radio station WBCN’s Battle
of the High School Bands. They finished first in the preliminary
round at Bill’s Bar and went on to win the finals in front
of a sold out crowd at The Middle East (downstairs). This victory
brought Stock 7 to the attention of several radio disc jockeys
and club booking agents; delivering the band to the local club
scene. Also competing in WAAF’s New England Live Rock Showcase,
Stock 7 earned an opening spot for Reveille at the Rock Pile.
Stock 7 has released a four song EP that has received airplay
on WAAF’s Bay State Rock and WBCN’s Boston Emissions
and other local college stations. In 2000 Stock 7 was invited
to perform an acoustic set live on WAAF’s Baystate Rock.
Stock 7 has played at over 30 different venuse ginving them the
experience to bring an original sound to any stage; with an energized
and entertaining musical performance. |
