A unique project to see a pop punk act move to a single artist lineup, it begs the question can a single person still give us the energy that pop punk music requires? With the latest single “I, Spy” Hunter may very well prove just that.. - Michel Orange

Singer Alicia Keys is among the more than 50,000 athletes running in the New York City Marathon on Sunday, and along the racecourse, the Grammy-winning Big Apple native will be in familiar company.
According to New York Road Runners, more than 130 bands, musicians and DJs, from brass to bagpipes and rock to reggae, are scattered along the racecourse this year — an average of five acts per mile — to keep runners motivated and their supporters invigorated.

Who the h-e-double-hockey-sticks left the gate open and let Detroit rocker, Seven Story
Fall (7SF), into the yard? The band's new album, Stories and Analogies, is a
Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) project that has "Radio Ready" written all over it. Each
song embodies the foundation of rock-n-roll music, and gives us a wide range of styles
within the rock genre. Stories & Analogies offers punk-pop, power pop-rock, and
alternative rock songs that are likely to make 7SF a huge success in the business once
the right industry heavyweights get their hands on it. It's only a matter of time before we
start seeing 7SF stickers on car bumpers everywhere. click link to read more..... - Shaine Freeman

Some tour tips by Hunter Kennedy of Seven Story Fall - Digital tour bus
The Grassroots Guitarist
At the age of 11, Seven Story Fall guitarist Hunter Kennedy received his first guitar and decided to pursue a band. In 2004, the band got serious with bigger shows starting to come along. Soon after, 7SF put together a five-song EP produced by Erik Ron. They began to play festivals and started to receive more press including newspapers, magazines and websites. Currently, Seven Story Fall is out promoting their new album, Stories & Analogies.
Hunter, like many musicians, draws influence from a wide range of different artists and styles:
I like to think all music has influenced me. I want to mix as much as I can into my albums. The Beatles do that, so I’d say they’re a big influence, but not the only ones.
Musical diversity is a common theme for professionals. He values an eclectic background, and attributes that to some great advice he received along the way.
Have a variety of genres in your music, don’t just focus on one. Focusing on just one puts you in a box when it comes to writing.
Hunter has a sponsorship with Rokstark strings, and plays their 10 gauge strings live, as well as D’Addario 11s.
Both are awesome live but I use the 11 gauge strings for recording for a more solid tone that isn’t so high pitch.
Like many aggressive guitar players, he is a big fan of EMG pickups.
I only use EMG pickups. My favorites are the 81 and 89 split coils. I have one of each in my Schecter Hellraiser Solo 6 in all white. I wouldn't recommend any other pickup at this point.
In addition to his strings and pickups, Hunter is a big fan of Mogami cables and Sperzel locking tuners.
They have made tuning happen way less which is key for a great performance. I’d highly recommend them to get the most out of your instrument. - Musicians friend music blog (the hub)
