7 H. Target formed in Istanbul in 2009, taking their name from the seven-hour time difference between their home city and Los Angeles. They built an audience through local gigs and released albums like 'Seven Hour Time Difference' in 2011 and 'Landmarks' in 2013. Their song 'Grenade In The Hand' became a notable track for them.
Their lyrics, written by frontman Emir Taha, sometimes touched on social themes that drew attention. The band's lineup included Taha on vocals and guitar, Cem Aksel on guitar, Uğur Onatkut on bass, and Kerem Kabadayı on drums.
They put out more records like 'Beyond' in 2015 and 'Artefacts' in 2018, mixing rock with some electronic touches. They've played at festivals and worked with other musicians, including Steven Wilson and the Turkish band Pentagram.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
