Today 7D7D, comprised of Tim Commerford (bass), Mathias Wakrat (drums) and Jonny Polonsky (guitar), announce the release of a red vinyl limited edition 7" double A side featuring "Written on a Napkin" and "Insignia" - the third & fourth singles respectively - and of their debut live performance on May 5 at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, CA.

(The 7" will be available for sale at the show, and soon on our website.)

Since releasing their debut single "Capitalism" on black Friday November 25, 2022, the trio has continued to put out powerful and confrontational songs. "Misinformed" was released on December 13, 2022 followed by "Written on a Napkin" on December 8th, 2023 and "Insignia" on February 9, 2024. All of these songs were recorded in Tim & Mathias' LA studio, while Jonny would add his parts from his NY based studio. With Jonny having recently relocated to Los Angeles the band began rehearsing and soon after booked their debut gig. Jonny explains, "We've been recording music for the last two or three years via email, but since my move from NYC to LA in January, we've been practicing pretty steadily. It feels really thrilling to be finally getting out there performing live for the people."

"It's exciting to finally hear these songs live, they sound way better than expected", added Mathias. "It's the most fun music project I've ever been a part of for sure."

Tim continued, "I'm proud to be a part of this artistic fighter jet that never stops teaching me. I'm Lucky to be with players like Mathias and Jonny. Plus, we're at war and I need to sing about it."

The band plan to continue to record and release new music, one single at a time - stay tuned!

About Mad Bunny Records

It has been a long-time dream of Harper’s to create his own label, but it was his recent experience as a producer that has led him to do this now. His credits as a producer illustrate Harper’s musical curiosity and include an impressive diversity: Tom Freud, Collapsible Plans (2008); Grace Woodroofe, Always Want (2010); Rickie Lee Jones, The Devil You Know (2012); Natalie Maines, Mother (2012); Mavis Staples, We Get By (2019) that Harper also wrote and sang on, garnering them the prestigious Folk Alliance Album Of The Year Award; Birdthrower, Birdthrower (2019); Christopher Paul Stelling, Best Of Luck (2020) and Hey King! (2020).

For many of these artists, Harper not only produced the music but also helped find a label to release it, using his vast network inside and knowledge of the music industry to find these gems the right home.

Creating his own imprint is a natural progression for a musician reared in a musical community where artists always helped their fellow artists. In fact Ben has been doing this his whole career – in 1999 Harper heard a tape of a young musician named Jack Johnson was blown and took him out on the road, helping launch his career.

“I did this because there was too much incredible music that wasn’t getting nearly enough attention that I feel it deserves”, Harper said. “I grew up in a music store that has been open since 1958 and it is a musical community where musicians help one another. There is no way I would be here without the help of numerous musicians and I want to carry that on”
