After spending some quality time with their families, the band appears ready for another strong run with the INO Records\/Sony RED project With Shivering Hearts We Wait<\/em>, which released earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The album reunited Blindside with Howard Benson who produced the band\u2019s breakout Elektra Records projects Silence<\/em> and About a Burning Fire<\/em>. Benson is noted for his work with such rock acts as My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach and Flyleaf.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

With concert appearances alongside Skillet, Kutless, Pillar, Disciple, Fireflight, Stellar Kart, Family Force 5, Decyfer Down and Jars of Clay, it must have seemed inevitable that Kentucky-based foursome 7eventh Time Down would eventually score a national recording contract of its own.<\/p>\n

BEC Recordings recently signed the rock act and it\u2019s first single, \u201cAlive in You,\u201d has already been serviced to CHR and Rock radio in preparation for a September 13th album release that was produced by Grammy-nominated Scotty Wilbanks.<\/p>\n

“I have been listening to BEC and Tooth & Nail bands for years now,” lead singer Mikey Howard said in a press release. “They put out some of my favorite records with my top bands. To now have the opportunity to be on the label is so incredibly humbling. Knowing God is allowing and enabling us to impact this world for the One to come through BEC Recordings is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
