7th Order is an American rock & roll band whose debut extended play CD release, The Lake of Memory,[1] was issued on the Big Island Sounds[2] label in 2007 (although 7th Order had been in existence for several years by that time).[3] The band is led by vocalist, guitarist and main songwriter Daniel Jones[4][5][6] and is notable for having been assisted by veteran British guitarist Martin Pugh[7] (of Steamhammer, Armageddon and "The Rod Stewart Album"), drummer Tim Kelliher,[8][9] (of Randy Hansen's Machine Gun), and guitarist Geoff Thorpe[10][11][12] (of Vicious Rumors). Reviewers have recognized their particular sound as reminiscent of blues-rock bands like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds, with progressive undertones ala Led Zeppelin.[13]
As of October 16, 2015 – 7th Order was the number one Rock & Roll artist for the State of Hawaii on the Reverb Nation web site.[14]
