7Horse

Gritty, swaggering blues-rock with a desert-baked heart. Raw slide guitar and stomp-box rhythms for high-speed drives and late-night defiance.

Intro

7Horse is an American blues-rock duo formed in 2011 by Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt, both veterans of the alternative rock band dada. The project was born from a desire to return to 'Ground Zero' of rock and roll, moving away from the polished alternative sounds of their past toward a raw, two-man aesthetic.

Their sound is defined by a heavy reliance on slide guitar, finger-picking techniques, and a 'one song per day' studio philosophy that emphasizes immediacy over perfection. They gained significant cultural traction when their track 'Meth Lab Zoso Sticker' was selected by Martin Scorsese for 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' cementing their reputation for cinematic, high-swagger rock. Throughout their career, spanning albums like 'Songs for a Voodoo Wedding' and 'Superfecta,' they have maintained a consistent identity rooted in the intersection of Delta blues, garage rock, and stoner-rock grit. Critically, they are viewed as a bridge between the classic swagger of The Rolling Stones and the modern garage-blues revival led by acts like The Black Keys or Band of Skulls.
