Stories we Tell

Founded in 2013, Seven Hard Years aka 7HY is a melodic hard rock band that is sure to entice the senses of Journey and REO Speedwagon fans all over the planet. Based out of the UK and led by Alan Kelly, former of drummer of the vastly underrated and undeniably legendary Shy, Stories We Tell is a euphoric adventure that is well worth seeking out. In addition to Alan Kelly’s superb work on guitar, bass, drums, keys, and backing vocals, Seven Hard Years also includes the participation of Line Of Fire vocalist Shawn Pelata unleashing supremely impassioned lead vocals. Also featuring guest appearances from ex-members of Marshall Law, Houston and a whole lot more, these fine musicians deliver the sonic goods in a grand and inspiring way.

One of the best parts of our job here at AXS is getting to review new albums before their release. There is nothing better than getting your hands on the latest album from a favorite band. Such is the case with the San Antonio-based alternative rockers Nothing More who will be dropping their highly-anticipated full-length album, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, on Sept.15 through Better Noise Records.

Jazz trumpet player, composer, arranger and producer Gary Alesbrook is back in the spotlight with the release of his second album “The Stories We Tell Ourselves,” released October 29th, 2019. The album consists of eleven original jazz compositions and features an exciting, diverse range of artists including two time grammy nominated Guitarist and vocalist, Raul Midón.
