From rock to country to blues, and everything in between, their sound is a rich tapestry of musical flavors that defies easy categorization. At its core, Seven and Counting’s music is firmly rooted in rock, but it’s the unique amalgamation of genres that sets them apart.
Formed in 2015, Seven and Counting embarked on a journey to find the perfect lineup, honing their craft and refining their sound along the way. It wasn’t until they found the right combination of musicians that they were able to fully realize their vision and begin work on their debut studio album. However, their progress was temporarily halted by the onset of the global pandemic, forcing the band to put their plans on hold for nearly two years.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Seven and Counting persevered, spending the past two years dedicated to perfecting their craft. Holed up in rehearsal rooms and recording studios, they poured their hearts and souls into the creation of their album, meticulously polishing each track until it sparkled with brilliance. The result is a collection of ten original songs that showcase the band’s raw talent, boundless creativity, and unwavering passion for music.
“Tonight” is a delightful journey through classic rock with a contemporary twist, delivering a fusion of infectious melodies and retro vibes. From the opening track “Keep Me,” with its Wings-inspired grandiosity and energetic horn section, to the ELO-esque charm of “Dancing With My Dream,” the album exudes a sense of fun and nostalgia that is hard to resist.
The band’s lineup boasts a diverse array of talents, including Boško Colić on drums, Ante Paleka on bass, Jurica Brzić on guitar, Ante Valčić on saxophone and harmonica, Daria Baković, Nevija Kožul Peričić, Lucija Grabovac, and Vinko Baković on vocals and guitar. This rich combination of instrumental prowess and vocal harmonies adds depth and texture to each track, creating a dynamic listening experience.
“Tonight” channels the spirit of classic rock while infusing it with modern sensibilities, resulting in a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. The band’s influences from the 80s shine through, lending a vibrant energy to their music that is infectious and uplifting.
“Tonight” is more than just an album—it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to transcend adversity. With its infectious melodies, electrifying energy, and soul-stirring lyrics, Seven and Counting’s debut release is sure to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album’s sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
