The Seventh Floor is a 4 piece pop-punk/rock band from Ventspils, Latvia established in November 2010.
The band’s name is taken from the group’s first rehearsal room – Ventspils University College’s dorm room 711, which was on the seventh floor. The band has previously released a 6 song self-titled EP and not long ago (on September 15, 2013) their first full-length album Away From Home.
Influences: Four Year Strong, Blink 182, Biffy Clyro.
In Latvia, the rock/punk scene is pretty small because first of all, there aren’t too many people. Even if we have a good bunch of great bands, the scene can’t flourish without more people coming to the shows and supporting the bands in other ways.
However everyone should follow their passion and play music. They should try not to worry too much about the fans, etc. As long as you and your band is happy and enjoy what you’re doing, everything should be golden and a great future will come.
Members:
Reinis Rutkovskis (vocals,guitar)
Girts Celmins (guitar)
Viesturs Vigants (bass guitar)
Jekabs Macpans (drums)
