Before five...there was seven. Or, if a band's preoccupation with numbers makes any more sense of it, before Five Star Fall there was Beyond 7. If you liked the Automatic Ordinary album by Five Star Fall, you'll enjoy Revelations Per Minute by Beyond 7. This is the power pop trio that singer Gordon Deppe and bassist Tom Lewis would eventually twist and turn into what would become Five Star Fall. It shows them at a much rawer, guitar-based point in their lives, but highlights the same sense of adventure and lyrical wit that would later culminate in Automatic Ordinary. This Canadian trio is rounded out by Terry Martel on drums, who's quirky Keith Moon inspired style is featured on the psychedelic album closer Beyond Seven. There's just one question that these lads avoid answering... What's with all the numbers? Maybe one day the riddle will be solved.
