by MacKenzie WilsonSeven 13 is a theatrical hard rock band with a heavy metal edge hailing from Boston, MA. In 1997, Harvard graduate Amanda Adams found herself wanting a creative outlet aside from the usual passions of art, culture, and literature. She started a band; however, its culmination didn't shape up until the next year when former Tank 26 drummer Bryan Bales joined the fray. In 1999, dancer/singer Lauren Doucette, Berklee College of Music honors graduate and bass player Brian Verrochi, and Tank 26 guitarist Justin Ballard allowed Seven 13 to capture a darkness and haunting overtone of love not found prior to its inception. Kenneth Michael made Seven 13 a six-piece just in time for the release of the band's debut, Unleashed in 2001. The band's website is www.seven13band.com.
