7eventh Time Down

A Christmas Wish List
BEC Recordings

Rockers 7eventh Time Down have released a new Christmas EP (extended play) called “A Christmas Wish List.” I call them rockers because their first two records on BEC Recordings have been straight-up rock’n’roll with a Christian message. This new Christmas project seems a little different. Yes it still rocks with much of the same intensity that they’re known for, but this record employs some decidedly R&B techniques that, for me, shows a musical diversity I hadn’t heard before. 7eventh Time Down as a boy band? Hmm.

Three new songs are on the new EP: “This Christmas,” “Wish List” and my favorite “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” Throw in a rap version of “Little Drummer Boy” (tongue-in-cheek) and you have a surprisingly good Christmas album. As a bonus track they’ve included their big hit “Just Say Jesus.”
