7th Sun is an intense supernova rock band from Los Angeles whose roots run the gamut from classic rock, progressive rock, funk rock, alternative rock, and jam bands.
"7th Sun really rocks. The band is an original rock ‘n’ roll blues band featuring the powerful songwriting and musicianship of JT Cutis. Its music is rooted in the classic rock of honest artists like the Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, and Derek and the Dominos, but with its spiraling guitars, driving rhythms, and gutsy vocals, the quintet led by JT Curtis soars into a new future of rock 'n' roll.
"With its timely, provocative lyrics and timeless gut-grabbing music, “From the Beginning” should launch 7th Sun into the big time. The debut album by this California band led by JT Curtis is brimming with gritty vocals, stinging guitars and heady, heartfelt harmonies. “From the Beginning” is a fresh new take on the classic roots rock sound of legendary acts like the Allman Brothers Band and Derek and the Dominos."
~Steve Isreal, syndicated reviewer~
"Singer-songwriter-guitarist JT Curtis and his band 7th Sun have constructed a 10-track debut release that turns out to be a kind of "concept album," consisting of songs that question the authority of the status quo, and look to a re-awakening of the same sort of fellowship and forward movement that was felt back in the Sixties . . . the title track thrums with a vibration that seems to be re-“discovered” by every waking wave of young dreamers. The Woodstock Generation sang of “getting back to the Garden,” not so far from where JT Curtis might seek to start. “From the Beginning” is a rocking disk . . . JT Curtis might not have the strongest or most far-ranging voice around, but he surely has one of the more sincere, and what he has to say is well worth listening to."

". . . 7th Sun has taken your dad's late-sixties English rock with 7TH SUN and made it relevant to the social and political climate of today - a world just as manic and chaotic as any that CREAM's music tried rising above. 'FROM THE BEGINNING' is an album that takes you some where. . . The band goes from jazzy instrumentals to strutting rockers, funky breakdowns, almost reggae-styled grooves and anthemic guitar solos, all in a moments notice. Nowhere does this bands sound come together more perfectly than on the sizzling track 'BIG MAN'. Unlike the current crop of "alternative" rockers (if they even call them that anymore), 7TH SUN gives you reason to believe that rock n roll doesn't have to be all pop psychological heartache, false earnestness, and empty posturing. It can be a hell of a ride."

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
