Album Notes

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania
Se7en South, a northeast Pennsylvania studio band has released their second album titled : Alblumo Duo “Harmless Little Radio Waves”. The 21 track CD features a wide range of music for all ages. From local tounge in cheek (a band signature) to blues, swing, as well as ballads, this CD flows like the spin of a radio dial and is full of variety. Included in this format is a PSA, which the band takes very seriously. The 60 second PSA draws attention to the importance of parental guidance for kids on the internet. “It was the tragic Megan Meier’s story that shook all of us to the core as to what the cyber world is capable of, and awareness was the only thing we had in our arsenal. We wrote and produced it and built the radio CD around it. We are hopeful every radio station will find a hole in their schedule to run it, and often,” Se7en South band member Kevin McGroarty stated. “Our mission was to create a variety album that any traditional or web radio station might find something to fit their catagory, but the PSA is something we hope every single one will utilize.”
