What’s Going On?

Hello out there!

It’s been awhile. While there are no plans for live dates, we are sitting on a ton of music. Some recorded a long time ago and some recorded days ago. It’s time to share this music, some memories and ideas. Time to reconnect.

We are regularly posting music, video, photos, and more on a variety of channels.  If you haven’t already, head over to High Shelter for regular posts and to hear some music! And, check out our Facebook and Instagram for all sorts of content.

We are also releasing music regularly on Bandcamp (see below) and planning to reissue our studio records on vinyl and streaming services. Check back here, subscribe to High Shelter, or like/follow us on social to stay in the loop on things.

Last, but not least, we have merchandise for sale . Get you some!

Dis/Location

“Be ready for the rock,” we mock-warned in the bio for 2004’s Dis/Location. Nearly 20 years after its initial release, our 6th album gets another run. Completely remastered from the original master tapes, Dis/Location is now available again on streaming services. And, we pressed a limited amount of vinyl…get it now before it’s gone.

For ordering details and special EP releases surrounding Dis/Location, click below!

Mis/Location (EP)

To accompany the re-release of Dis/Location, we’ve unearthed some rare recordings Seven Mary Three made during this era. The appropriately titled Mis/Location EP includes rare demo recordings of “Without You Feels” and “Made to Be Broken”, studio and live versions of the fan favorite “Goldfish,” and a live recording of “Bright Light”. While the live recordings have been traded by fans for years, this is the first release of the other three tracks.

Welcome Race Fans (EP)

We are excited to re-release the Welcome Race Fans EP digitally through Bandcamp. These were our initial recordings for what would become Dis/Location. We will be re-releasing Dis/Location in November…stay tuned for details!

Rock Crown Rarities

We’re pleased to release two songs recorded in the Rock Crown sessions that didn’t make the record! Check out “The New Blues” and “A Little Hard, A Little Late” and read more about these songs on High Shelter.

Our debut Churn is now available on Bandcamp. Churn includes the original recordings of most of what became American Standard , including a longer version of “Cumbersome” and the song “Kater”, which only appears on this record. Check it out!

JR : Touchy Button Basement Sessions

Recorded in October ’98 by JR with Kevin McKendree recording/laying it down and Mr. Giti Khalsa behind the kit, these 4 songs explore a different side of JR and include a sensational early version of TUG and some previously unreleased treasures.

JR : Nightdrivingsongs

Nightdrivingsongs is a collection of demos and home recordings JR made between 1995 and 1999. Various incarnations of this have been traded and loved through the years and we’re excited to finally make it available for all to enjoy.

Beginners (EP)

We’re pleased to announce the release of Beginners, a 6 song EP we recorded live in the studio in Fall 1995. The session includes 5 songs from American Standard and the first fully-recorded version of “Lucky” in a way most have never heard. The music was found on a cassette in an old shoebox in the archive and hadn’t been listened to in decades. This is obviously the first time it has been released!

Backbooth is Back!

Our Backbooth release is available again for download! Recorded live at Backbooth in Downtown Orlando during one of our popular fan weekends in February 2008, the live acoustic record features stripped-down versions of songs from our day&nightdriving release as well as favorites from our entire catalog.

Live reviews

Seven Mary Three (named for the call sign of Jon from CHIPS) is one of the seminal alternative / grunge bands of the 90’s. No one that hears Cumbersome (their biggest hit) could forget its hard rocking intensity. These guys represent all that is right about American rock.

When I saw them, it was right at the height of their popularity and it was one of the most intense shows I have ever seen. The venue was only medium sized so it was packed to capacity and full of hard core fans. When the band stepped out on stage, the crowd’s reaction was instant and deafening. They started out with one of their bigger songs, Water’s Edge and the people were 110% into it. And somehow, these guys managed to keep up the same level of crazy intensity for the whole show. Jason Ross must be commended for keeping up that growly soulful singing style for all that time. It makes my throat hurt just imagining it.

They don’t have a great deal of lights or frills but they really don’t need anything else. Seven Mary Three’s music totally speaks for itself and it speaks loud as hell! You can’t go back in time to see them when they were young and great but they still tour and are quite on form. Don’t hesitate to check the band out when they come to a venue near you.

Seven Mary Three: Whatever Happened To the Band Behind “Cumbersome?”

The LA Times wrote about Seven Mary Three, “The members of rock band Seven Mary Three belong to a minority of young rockers: those willing to acknowledge that the road to commercial success is paved with compromise.”

Seven Mary Three formed in 1992 when two post-secondary students with the same first name met midway through their junior year while attending the College of William & Mary in Virginia. Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Jason Ross and lead guitarist Jason Pollack were both born in Kansas.

“When I met Jason and heard him sing, I really fell into it.” – Jason Pollack

Pollack moved to Virginia later on and told Deseret News, “I listened to all my parents’ classic rock albums, the radio; really anything that sounded melodic and good. I also went to see a lot of local folkie mountain music. I learned to play at college and realized this is what I wanted to do. When I met Jason and heard him sing, I really fell into it.”

Ross and Pollack both pursued degrees in the arts. The duo soon began writing songs but Ross was nervous about getting on stage and performing in front of people, telling Rolling Stone, “I’d always kind of wanted to perform, but I was too much of a coward to get onstage. Jason was able to push me into it.”

Within several months of writing their first song, the pair performed as an acoustic duo before adding Bassist Casey Daniel and drummer Giti Khalsa and began playing local coffee shops and clubs and doing their best to avoid the highly lucrative college party circuit that would have forced the quartet to play covers in their sets.

“At a typical show, there’s a 35-year-old guy wearing a hand-tooled leather belt & his name carved in the back standing next to a teenage goth girl.” – Jason Ross

Seven Mary Three would build a pretty big local following. Ross told Spin Magazine who the typical fan of the band was in the early 90’s, “At a typical show, there’s a 35 year old guy wearing a hand tooled leather belt & his name carved in the back standing next to a teenage goth girl.”

Churn is Released on 5 Spot Records

On the strength of their original compositions, the band was able to gain a grassroots following in both Virginia and in Florida. It was during this time that the band wrote, recorded, released and produced their first record Churn on their own label, 5 Spot Records, which they sold at gigs.

The band would press nearly 5,000 copies, mostly through funds that they made off their concerts with the record landing in some Best Buy stores in Orlando and about 10 independent chains between Williamsburg and Orlando. Chris Bayer, who owned an independent record store in Williamsburg, would admit that Churn was one of the store’s top 10 biggest selling records of 1994, even outselling Pearl Jam.

Ross told Las Vegas Weekly of the overarching themes of the album, saying, it’s “one of people dealing with things in life, dealing with your feelings, dealing with your fellow man, dealing with women, and how you really have to work at it.“

“Cumbersome”

The album’s opening track, a song called “Cumbersome” would catch the attention of a local Orlando radio station WJRRmby playing a demo version of their song “Shine”. WJRR added “Cumbersome” to their rotation in January of 1995 and every time the song was played on the radio, the phone lines lit up.

“When I first heard ‘Cumbersome’, I said to my promotions director that these guys are the next Collective Soul.” – Steve Robertson

Steve Robertson, WJRR Assistant Program Director would tell Billboard, “When I first heard ‘Cumbersome’, I said to my promotions director that these guys are the next Collective Soul. I got the same feeling from this song that I got from Collective Soul’s ‘Shine’.”

Ross would tell Spin Magazine how things came full circle for the group when they opened up for Live, “Me and my friend came down from Tampa to see Live and man, we were blown away. At the end of the show, Ed reached out and pulled me and my friend on stage. 3 years later we were selling out 10,000 seater arenas and opening for Live.”

The band would soon ink a deal with indie label Mammoth Records who had a partnership with Atlantic. Ross would tell Ear Of Newt, “Mammoth is really into nurturing bands through different stages in development. It’s such an eclectic group of bands on the roster that you don’t feel like you’re competing with the other bands for attention.”

Music of Seven Mary Three Inspired by Anxiety

The music of Seven Mary Three would be inspired by the same anxieties as their Generation X peers. Ross would tell the LA Times, “Our parents have been through divorces, and it’s had a tremendous impact on us. I think that often our ideals of the perfect family unit or any romantic relationship are just that, ideals and we love more in our minds than in reality. Can you be faithful? Can you be everything that’s desired of you? Are expectations simply too high? It’s a very difficult, but essential, part of the human condition to try and understand.” These anxieties and trials show up in tracks “Devil Boy”, “My My” and “Margaret”.

American Standard

Following the success of “Cumbersome”, the band relocated to Orlando and Mammoth opted to release the group’s debut record under a new name called American Standard. Their label had Seven Mary Three re-record most of the songs while throwing in a few new tunes. The album was given a new title to make the record sound more palatable to rock radio.

The label would issue a shortened 4-minute version of “Cumbersome” as the lead single from the album where it would receive heavy play on MTV, and would peak at No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It also had crossover appeal, peaking at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

“Water’s Edge” and “My My” Chart in the Top 20

The band followed up the success of “Cumbersome” with two other well received singles. Both “Water’s Edge” and “My My” would chart in the Top 20 of the Mainstream Rock charts.

The album would go on to sell over 1.1 million copies in America and be certified platinum. Seven Mary Three were frequently compared to other bands at the time including Hootie and the Blowfish and the Dave Matthews Band.

Ross would tell Rolling Stone, “I think the reason bands like Hootie, Dave Matthews, and, to some degree, ourselves have done as well as we have is that there’s a work ethic and a willingness to give to the audience.”

While the band had a lot to celebrate, they also had a lot of criticism lobbied against them from critics who compared them to other popular 90’s alternative rock acts including Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam.

“The comparisons used to upset me, but I’ve convinced myself to be secure in my own identity.” – Jason Ross

Ross would handle such criticisms with grace, telling the LA Times, “The comparisons used to upset me, but I’ve convinced myself to be secure in my own identity. As a young band, it’s part of paying your dues, and you’ve got to survive your influences.”

By 1997, Mammoth would split from Atlantic and this resulted in the band’s follow-up album, RockCrown being put in limbo and delayed for almost half a year. The dissolution of Mammoth’s relationship with Atlantic resulted in the band jumping ship to Atlantic. A deal was worked out with Mammoth, however, which would still share in profits from the record and help promote the album.

“The last six months have been a serious test in patience and faith.” – Jason Ross

Jason Ross told Billboard in 1997, “The last six months have been a serious test in patience and faith. It’s like trying to believe in a new religion or something. There’s all this mystery out there and you have people telling you that everything is going to be alright.”

Fans of the group were surprised with the sound of the band’s second record, RockCrown. It showed more introspective lyrics, heavier folk influences, an organ player and softer-sounding song arrangement. The band members, however, didn’t see the change in sound as straying from their roots.

RockCrown was met with lukewarm reviews and a less than stellar commercial performance. The album peaked at No. 75 on the Billboard charts and only sold around 300,000 copies.

The band returned the following year with their follow-up titled Orange Avenue that was met with even less fanfare. It peaked at No. 121, sold around 150,000 units and it would serve as their final album for Atlantic.

Jason Pollack Leaves Exits Seven Mary Three

By 1999, Jason Pollack left the band for good and Thomas Juliano was brought in to replace him. The success of “Cumbersome” seemed to haunt the band. The group would admit that some people would walk out of their concerts after they played the song.

By 2002, the band landed back with Mammoth Records and released their follow-up album, The Economy of Sound, selling around 50,000 copies. Mammoth would soon fold into Disney’s Hollywood Records and the band was once again left without a label.

“The first time it happens to you, you become pretty jaded, and anger is the first reaction.” – Jason Ross

Jason Ross would look back at the band’s career up until this point, telling the Orlando Sentinel, “The first time it happens to you, you become pretty jaded, and anger is the first reaction,” referring to being dropped by the label.

“The second time, you’re a little more seasoned and you can say, ‘This is the way the business works.’ The third time, you force yourself to be positive because maybe that little hint of negativity is what people are seeing and you definitely don’t want them to see that. It’s the only way to be. I can’t say that the last record did what we wanted it to do, but I did my job.”

Seven Mary Three put out two more albums including 2004’s Dis/Location and 2008’s Day & Nightdriving, both of which failed to chart.

Seven Mary Three Calls It Quits

By 2006, the group’s drummer would leave the band and in 2012 the band called it quits for good.

As recently as December of 2021, the band posted on their website that they are sitting on tons of unreleased music, some which had been written pretty recently and some that was written years ago.

Fans could go on the band’s website to sign up and get access to the material, some of which would be free, while others would have a nominal fee attached to them. The band’s website would stress that no live dates seem to be coming in the near future.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.
