Music – Ventura

8STOPS7(formed in 1997 in Ventura County, Ca.)is all four original members: Evan Sula-Goff (vocals), Seth Watson (guitars), Alex Viveros (bass) Adam Powell (drums), and ‘new’ addition Rodney Amieva (guitars), who joined the band in 2006. After a short stint in the local club scene 8stops7 was soon signed to Warner/Reprise. Our major label debut, “In Moderation” is a blend of high energetic rock and a selection of ballads that continues to receive rave reviews from old and new fans alike. “In Moderation” at present has sold 400,000 copies and counting. Our next release, “Bend”, written in the woods of Bend, Oregon, was released independently in 2006 and gave our fans fifteen songs showcasing the range of a band with a little history on our side. “Fables”, our recently released album is a landmark and turning point in the band’s career. It is our first in five years since “Bend” and our first album recorded and co-written with the newest family member,Rodney Amieva. The result is a new energetic branded sound, a natural evolution that will prove to be a raw and powerful experience. 8STOPS7 creates hard hitting melodic rock worthy of stadiums and arena halls built on open-ended conversations examining the love, loss and life that defines who we are.
