Touring Germany in early March, is a band from Cape Town who refer to their sound as ‘rude, reggae, rock’. They are 7th Son.

Formed 10 years ago, in the summer of 2000, it wasn't long after the release of their first entirely self-produced album Fire in the Rain that the band began touring the rest of the country regularly, playing all major clubs and festivals.

In June 2009, under Musketeer Records, 7th Son released of their second full length album, an 11 track CD entitled ‘Ontology’. It is by far the most comprehensive package to date, with the first single The Boys Light Up, quickly achieving no 1 on radio stations across the country.

Each of the members, with their own individual influences and tendencies, will agree that the strength of the music is in their live performance. There's an unmistakable energy at every 7th Son gig that fuels fans into a frenzy. Brilliant musicianship placed within clever arrangements, makes for a captivating experience. Promoting tolerance, expression and individuality in a really cool way.

See the March 2010 issue of SA PROMO Magazine for a review of Ontology album.
