History

According to vocalist Leah Hennessey, the band's originated from a conversation between herself and Adams: "I told Ryan I wanted to make sad bastard music and the next day he asked me to come sing in his and Johnny's punk band, which is when we wrote and recorded the entirety of 7 Minutes in Heaven. We never give ourselves more than a few minutes to write the songs so we can't really afford to censor ourselves or be less stupid."
The band is predominantly based in New York City with Hennessey stating, "Johnny is here and Gus is here, and Ryan is in L.A., and he just comes here to do stuff with us. Percentage-wise, the band is based in New York, and that's where we record everything. And we have a lot of material recorded, too -- is just the tip, this is like a million years ago, to me. That blip when we first met."
The band released its debut EP, 7 Minutes in Heaven, on April 21, 2013. Produced by Gus Oberg, the EP was released in celebration of Record Store Day.
They disbanded in 2014.
