8 STOPS 7, a Ventura, California-based band, was formed in 1997 by singer Evan Sula-Goff, guitarist Seth Watson, bassist Alex Viveros, and percussionist Adam Powell.

All of the members feed off of each others intense creative abilities and work hard at structuring songs that tend to bleed through several different genres at once, reaching an even larger audience. Whether its a loud-rocking anthem or a sensitive ballad, these young men make sure each song incorporates textured melodies, progressive grooves, and a universal meaning.

The song "Question Everything" was included as a demo for the new digital speakers included with the Apple PowerMac G4 Cube. Their singles and videos continue to receive airplay to this day and album sales remain steady in their corner markets throughout the South and Midwest.
