February 9, 2024 Silverlake, CA — Today 7D7D releases Insignia – the fourth single from the trio comprised of Tim Commerford (bass), Mathias Wakrat (drums) and Jonny Polonsky (guitar). Insignia is melodic and menacing – you can feel the power in this tight trio as the song builds into killer harmonies. The track will be available digitally everywhere Friday, February 9, 2024 on Mad Bunny Records.
Since releasing their debut single Capitalism on November 25, 2022, the trio has continued to release powerful, dangerous songs, one by one. Misinformed was released on December 13, 2022 followed by Written On a Napkin on December 8th, 2023. All of these songs were recorded in Tim & Mathias’ LA studio, where they continue to harness their combustible sound. Look for live performances coming soon…….
Tim Commerford explains, “Insignia is an artists view on ranking systems that shape our planet. Who’s strapped and who can’t own? Who’s number one and who doesn’t get heard? Who is the truth and who’s lying? Wrapped up in a killer drum beat!”
Lyrics:
What’s your insignia?
Shows me who you are
By your ranks
You’re visibly
Far away from me
So don’t talk to me baby
Where’s your ambassador?
Shows me who you are
If your base is industry
Stay far away from me
With all your problems
There’s too many options not enough time
That’s why you’re never
Gonna talk to me
I’m leaving your aerospace
But
I’m coming back
And
I’ll see you here tomorrow
My missions done
I’m going home
But
I’m coming back with a bigger one tomorrow
About 7D7D
Tim learned the bass and began to channel a tough childhood into music. By the time he was in his early 20’s he was in Rage Against The Machine. Tim was also in Audioslave (where he met Jonny) and Prophets of Rage.
French born Mathias first fell in love with percussion through his uncle who played, and began studying it at age 11, before moving to Los Angeles, where he would later meet Tim. Tim and Mathias were fast friends, sharing a passion for mountain bikes and John Coltrane, though it took many years before they performed together in a band.
In 2015 the two were both in the trio Wakrat, which Tim described as “unapologetic, unrelenting, unbridled and uncensored. Understood?” However, this could be said of every band Tim has been in.
Tim and Jonny first started writing music together after Audioslave broke up. Jonny had been a guitar tech, but that humble position is deceptive – Jonny was discovered in the 90’s by Reeves Gabrels, and Frank Black from the Pixies helped produce his first demo. Jonny was then signed by Rick Rubin to his label American Recordings. Jonny went on to join Puscifer, he has toured with many artists including Tom Morello, and he has recorded with Kevin Haskins and David J of Bauhaus, and played on the last 2 Johnny Cash albums produced by Rick Rubin and more.
7D7D released their debut single Capitalism on Black Friday November 25 2022, closely followed by their second single, MisInformed, on December 13, 2022. Their third single, Written on Napkin was released December 8, 2023.
