I agree with JWKELLY, this is a highly underated band. They are such an amazing band. I'm surprised they dont even have a million plays...more people should listen to them☠

7M3 had some bad luck.  They were branded Grunge when they came out. The problem is, they weren't grunge, they were more Southern rock. This was a problem for them and their second album Rock Crown. Rock Crown, while it had it's hard rocking songs was a more personal and intimate album. This went against the persona cultivated by the label, and lead to a decrease in album sales. But for their fans, it solidified their core base.

Their releases continued, but on decreasing support and poor marketing on the label's side combined with problems in the band and the lack of interest for anything guitar based, they floundered. Rock Crown remained the fan favorite.

In 2004, the band returned with a vengeance with Dis/Location. Returning to their roots of hard driving, southern based rock and one of their best albums.  However, no one seemed to notice.  They then retooled and came back in 2008 with a more roots-y, Americana sound a-la Wilco with Day & NightDriving.  Day & NightDriving is, again a very personal record that appeals to their core fans that loved Rock Crown.

Personally, Day & NightDriving is the best 7M3 album. Ever.
