1. Area-7 rose from the ashes of Madness cover band Mad Not Madness. In 1994 three members, Dugald McNaughtan (keyboards), Charles "Chucky T" Thompson (guitar) and Dan Morrison (drums) left the group and began to write their own songs. They formed a band and named it after a lyric from The Specials' Dawning of a New Era. In 1996, singer Walter Eskdale left and the band recruited John "Stevo" Stevens, formerly of rockabilly band Yeah Yeah!, to vocals. Alistair Shepherd (sax), Toby Dargaville (trumpet) and Rohan Pacey (bass) all left in approximately 2002, and were replaced by Paul West and Matt Sanders.
2. Area 7 was born in 1999 when the Foronda sisters created a band that pays tribute to acts like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Nirvana. After the typical initial hesitation, finally they consolidated as a solid quartet led by Diana and Fátima Foronda, supplemented by the drummer Josie Romani who suggested Karol Uriol’s entry, who switched from guitar to bass.
They composed their first own songs and formalized the gestation of the first all-female metal band in Peru. They grew musically gig after gig, and in 2003 acquired the maturity needed to participate in bigger concerts with bands such as Masacre, Reset, Natura and Leuzemia. Gradually their national impact was getting greater, and after being quoted in press notes and appearing in several television interviews, they published their first and self-titled EP.
After bring their music to Morella Petrozzi’s contemporary dance show “Género Femenino” (Female Gender) they published “Soul Machine”, their first LP produced by Morrison Records which made Area 7 to cross borders to present it to the Brazilian, Colombian, Mexican, Chilean and Argentine crowd.
A year later, in 2007, Evelyn Matos increased the Area 7 family when joined the band, allowing Karol Uriol to go back on track with her guitar.
After celebrating their 10th anniversry as a band, the band recorded their album “1.9.8.4″, tribute to Pamela Heredia, their close friend who died in 2008 and was born in 1984. Illari Arbe, with only 17 years old entered the band to play the drums and take part in the composition, arrangements and production of the album.

Area 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i count the hours that im away
i wish that you were here by me
coz this aint the way that its suposed to be
another show, another place
a picture of you, a smilling face,
a broken heart that you will never see
lies are told, angry words are said,
when im with you baby i dont care
right here for you i will always be
coz this aint the way its suposed to be
this aint the way that its suposed to be
this aint the way that its suposed to be
cant stand, i gotta have you close to me
this aint the way that its suposed to be
when i look at you and i see me,
i see you, your all i thought you'd be
how you make me feel i still cannot beleive
coz this aint the way that its suposed to be
and so i call you on the phone, another tour,
im far away from home
i wish that you could be here by me
coz this aint the way that its suposed to be
The song "JJ" by Area 7 tells the story of a person who is constantly away from their loved one due to work commitments, and they are longing for them to be there with them. They count the hours they are away and wish that their partner could be by their side, as this is not how they envisioned their relationship to be. The person keeps a picture of their loved one with them, but despite the smile in the picture, they have a broken heart that their partner cannot see.
The lyrics explore the challenges of maintaining a relationship amidst a busy life and the toll it takes on both partners. There are lies and angry words that get in the way, but when they are together, nothing else matters. The song expresses the desire to be close to the one they love and to always be there for them, despite the difficulties.

Well i dont see you everyday
I don't get to see you often, and it's not ideal
i count the hours that im away
I keep track of the time I'm not with you
i wish that you were here by me
I want you to be here with me
coz this aint the way that its suposed to be
Because this is not how it's supposed to be
another show, another place
I have another performance in a different location
a picture of you, a smilling face,
I have a picture of you with a happy expression
a broken heart that you will never see
You won't be able to see how much this situation hurts me
lies are told, angry words are said,
We say things we don't mean and hurt each other when we argue
when im with you baby i dont care
I don't worry about anything when I'm with you
right here for you i will always be
I will always be here for you
this aint the way that its suposed to be
This situation is not how it's supposed to be
cant stand, i gotta have you close to me
I can't bear being far away from you, I need you near me
when i look at you and i see me,
When I see you, I see myself
i see you, your all i thought you'd be
You are everything I hoped for and more
how you make me feel i still cannot beleive
I still find it hard to believe how good you make me feel
and so i call you on the phone, another tour,
I call you while I'm on another tour
im far away from home
I'm far from where I consider home
i wish that you could be here by me
I really wish you could be with me right now
coz this aint the way that its suposed to be
This situation is not how it's supposed to be
