[edit] Other projects
Whilst Seven Years were still together, some band members were leased out to other bands. El X was temporarily in The All New Adventures of Us, and played a few shows and recorded with them. After Seven Years broke up, he formed Elfonso, and later recruited Joe as drummer. Joe was also in Saving Sunday as keyboard player. They broke up slightly before Seven Years. Jonas was guitarist in Tricycle Fucking Death, who still play together on rare occasions. Nick Willes was recruited into Seven Years for the last few shows before they broke up. He currently plays various instruments for The All New Adventures of Us.
Since breaking up, Seven Years have recorded two further tracks, produced by Joe. These were not scheduled for release, but are available via download.
