We are Seventh Shade from merseyside. The band consists of 4 members,

Paul Chadwich - Backing vocals and Bass guitar
John Foster - Lead Guitar
Simon Lynskey - Drums and percussion.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER, AND HOW DID YOU START?
Seventh Shade have been writing and playing music together since may 2010.
The band started with John Okeffe and Simon who have played in other bands in the past along with Paul,
Paul left our last band to study at university. IN that time seventh Shade was born with two previous members
who left the band in the middle of 2012. When Paul completed university he was drafted back in the band. Foster has been a
very close friend to us all as he plays in seventh shade's sister band PAY FOR YOUR SINS who are an epic metal band. When our previous
Lead guitarist left we needed someone to jump in and Foster was there to help us, he still in the band and not looked back,
which is good for us cause he is amazing.
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE REST?

We are always trying to improve our set and how we perform live.

HOW DO YOU RATE YOUR LOCAL SCENE AT THE MOMENT?
Its ok at the momet but there is a lot of room for improvement, the scene seemes to be the same people playing to each other over again but St.helens
should hopefully get better.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO CHANGE/ IMPROVE IT?
I think if there was a couple of good venues in the town centre the scene would thrive but due to the current climate its hard for that to happen.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON EVENTS LIKE THESE- WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE?
Events such as these are needed for live music to continue and for new acts to be reconised. More events are needed so we can play them all ;)
DO YOU THINK THAT THERE IS A LACK OF ORIGINALITY OR A WILLINGNESS TO PUSH BOUNDERYS IN METAL AS A GENRE?
I think there is a lot of copy cats in metal music and some are unwilling to try and push metal, but saying that there are
just as many bands are doing the oposite and pushing the genre which is amazing.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST WORRY YOU GUYS FACE AS A BAND?
Not being able to play Music together.

WHO WOULD WIN- GANDALF OR DARTH VADER?
