“Seaside Tony” (from the EP of the same name) became one of the most requested songs of the summer on WHTG, Asbury Park, NJ (106.3 FM) and was voted Asbury Music Awards “Song of the Year” in 1999. “Seaside Tony” was also added to playlists of many other NJ stations including WDHA and WKOE (Top 20). The song is still in rotation on 106.3 during the summer months and has proven to be a NJ phenomenon as the definition of a “Seaside Tony” can now be found on the nationally popular website; Urban Dictionary (www.urbandictionary.com).

Alt-rock guru Matt Pinfield, formerly of WHTG-FM, MTV, and FarmClub, was the first to discover 7minds and place several tracks into regular rotation on their hometown radio station. No Time, the band’s first full-length CD, soon after witnessed nationwide radio support when the crowd favorite track “Coffee” debuted on CMJ’s top-twenty adds. The album was in rotation at over 200 stations. No Time spawned numerous tracks that have been featured on internationally distributed compilations and movies.

The Video:
7minds filmed and starred in their first, music video for the single, “45mix”. Directed by Mark Lois, the video combines exciting live footage in some of the East Coast’s most reputable venues and staged imagery consistent with the content of the song. “45mix”, a horn spiked, rock song from the CD diminished received airplay on several radio stations across the country and placed 7minds in the Top 10 out of 900 New York area bands in a contest sponsored by WXRK, NY (92.3 FM K-Rock) and ICAST.com.

The Tours:
The band was chosen by Ernie Ball Guitar Strings to perform on several Warped Tours including stops in Saratoga, NY and in Asbury Park, NJ. 7minds has also headlined at many large venues throughout the entire northeast and has opened for some of the biggest bands in the country.

7minds has also been featured in many regional newspapers such as The Star Ledger and The Asbury Park Press and has been chosen twice for cover stories in The Aquarian/East Coast Rocker. The group has appeared on several NJ based television programs including Positive Impact Television, a New Jersey Network program co-produced by and starring Joe Piscopo, and The Uncle Floyd Show.
