7 MINUTES IN HEAVEN
Just give me the chance, and I’ll take it.” This lyric from pop-punk band 7 Minutes In Heaven sums up the ethos of Timmy Rasmussen, Alex Rogers, and Justin Mondzak. Formed as a solo project by Rasmussen in late 2012, 7MIH (the abbreviation favored by fans) added musicians Rogers (Vocals/Bass) in early 2014 and Mondzak (Guitar) end of 2014. Having already toured as a solo act in support of a self-released EP (“Get in The Van!”), Rasmussen found the addition of both Rogers and Mondzak as the missing pieces to what he had set out to accomplish.
With the newly completed line-up taking form, 7MIH toured virtually non-stop in 2014 (including a summer of promotion following the Van’s Warped Tour) in support of their self-released “The Statement” EP. The immense support from fans old and new allowed the band to revisit the “The Statement” EP and record a companion release “The Statement: Deluxe”.
The band kicked off 2015 with a co-headlining tour supporting “The Statement: Deluxe” followed by a national tour with pop rock veterans Metro Station. The band will be embarking on a tour in early June to support friends Hollywood Ending on their farewell tour. The rest of the year will find Rasmussen, Rogers and Mondzak preparing new material for a fall 2015 release. It’s clear now; 7MIH has an extremely bright future ahead of them!
