Seven Storey Mountain is an American band formed in 1994 in Phoenix, AZ by singer, guitarist, songwriter, and sole continuous member Lance Lammers.[1]

The band formed in 1994 featuring Lammers, bassist Jesse Everhart, and drummer Thomas Lanser. The trio had two releases on indie label Art Monk Construction, a 1996 self-titled E.P. and the 1997 L.P. Leper Ethics.[2] The band broke up in early 1997 shortly before the release of Leper Ethics. During that summer Lammers recorded 2 four song EPs on his own, LLE and Conservatory. LLE was performed entirely by Lammers and Conservatory was recorded with local Phoenix drummer Rob Wheeler. Lammers rejoined his former band-mates later that year but this reformation would only last a few months, with this version of the group permanently disbanding in 1998. Material recorded by this trio from late 1997-1998 was released on the album Based on True Story in 2000 by Deep Elm Records and included several songs Lammers had previously recorded on his own.[3][4]

Lammers formed a new band in 2001 which he abbreviated Seven Storey. The new lineup, featuring Dave Norwood on bass and Chad Kinney on drums, released Dividing By Zero on Deep Elm in 2002.[5] The band began a national tour with Local H and Injected in November 2001.[6] Seven Storey disbanded shortly thereafter. A handful of leftover demo tracks that Lammers recorded on his own were released on a split EP with Brandtson and Camber in 2003.

Continuing to work on new material over the next couple of years, Lammers re-adopted the original Seven Storey Mountain moniker for a 2007 album, At the Poles, released on Thick Records. The album was recorded and performed solely by Lammers, and drew comparisons to Frodus and Fugazi.[7][8] A new live band played shows from 2005-2007 that featured Rich Van Syckel on bass and Dave King on drums.

May 2015 saw the release of the 7 song EP A La Mierda. Like At The Poles this album was written, performed and recorded by Lammers, this time at Fidelity Unlimited Recording in Portland, OR.
