Whether it's the crazy drum patterns or next level guitar beauty, I feel lucky to be a part of this band. It’s been life changing for me. I know that if I walked up on 7D7D somewhere I wouldn’t leave.”

In a statement about the tour, he adds, “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.”

Jonny Polonsky says, “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.”
