It is going to be interesting to watch the emo kids grow up in the years to come, to see what directions they head and what happens to all that youthful angst. Already Saves the Day and Hey Mercedes have made decent adult pop/rock albums with grown-up soul and intelligence. Decibully trumps them both with its debut record, City of Festivals. Decibully has ties to emo through the Promise Ring, post-rock through Pele, and noise pop through Camden. Despite this, they don't really sound like they belong anywhere. Maybe they need their own style. How about post-emo chamber pop with some country overtones? They have a rich, fully orchestrated sound that is warm and cozy. It wraps around you like a blanket, William Seidel's intimate vocals hovering nearby like an old friend. Every song is packed with instruments; vintage synths, harmonica, electric piano, lap steel, horns, banjo, cello, and all kinds of guitars are expertly woven into the mix. Vocal harmonies are also all over the record, culminating in "Uncle Sam's Yard," which features a large vocal choir and ends up sounding like a down-home Polyphonic Spree. To go along with the fantastic sound of the record, the group came up with a batch of songs to match. "On the Way to Your Hotel," "Holy Angel Choir, " "We Belong on Rooftops," and the desolate and moving "Spiderbites" are songs that have power and emotional depth but don't rock in any conventional sense. The music is literate and heartfelt, just like emo but without the cringe-inducing sappiness and over-emoting, and if a band on Domino or Too Pure or Matador had songs this strong it might be in the process of being hailed as the next big thing. Hopefully, emo-phobes will give a Polyvinyl release the chance it deserves, because City of Festivals is a really strong record. Between this record and the Saturday Looks Good to Me and Mates of State albums, Polyvinyl is on its way to becoming one of the best U.S. indie labels. ~ Tim Sendra

Seventh Affair CD  (2006)

City Of Festivals CD music
CD $11.49
Seventh Affair formed in 2003. Band members included: Jimmy (Chicken) Finazzo, John Bunker, Rob Vanlerberghe & Pat Chauvin. The four got together and wrote their own music. TSA played a huge battle of the bands at Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac, Michigan and did so well, they ended up winning studio time at Midwest Studios in Rochester Hills, Michigan. TSA recorded a 2 song demo & included: 'I Feel So Alone' & 'Another Reason'.

The 2 song demo ended up getting into the hands of producer, Michael Quatro of Quatrophonic Music, Inc. Michael was quoted as saying, "I heard the first song, 'I Feel So Alone' and it was a hit. So I heard another one, and that was a hit, so I signed them," Quatro said.

One week later, the boys were presented with a 5 year record contract from Quatrophonic Music, Inc & sub-contracted by RCF Records.

One week before the contract was to be signed, TSA was cut in half by 2 members and the band hit their first bump in the road to success when it came to getting the signatures of 2 of the band members. But Pat & Rob didn't have much time to dwell on ...

The Day Is All Your Own
Fictioneering The Day Is All Your Own CD  (2007)

City Of Festivals album
CD $16.45
The music of Fictioneering ranges from image-rich pop songs to lush, intricate soundtracks. Songwriters Chris Lynn and Jeff Stroud are both multi-instrumentalists. The style of the album The Day is All Your Own varies from the imagery of Kerouac to the precision of Kraftwerk; acoustic and spontaneous one moment, ethereal and refined the next.

Chris and Jeff spent much of the late 90's taking improvised road trips to shoot film and gather ideas. Scenes from Montreal, The Mississippi coastline, Strasbourg, France and their immediate surroundings in Maryland found their way into films, lyrics and projections during live shows during that period. During a break from recording their self-titled double album, the two musicians cut a cross-section of the U.S. in the early spring of '99. With super ...
