Faraday is a four-man alternative rock/indie group with too much time on its hands from Blacksburg, VA. Now, Faraday's busy playing shows in the area, as well as putting together a full debut album. Watch out.

Merchants of Seven is a blend of acoustic/electric reggae and alternative rock. It all started early in 2011 when members Ian Patrick and Wesley Fox lived on the same hall at Virginia Tech. They both heard each other practicing and thought, “Hey, he’s pretty good!” and from there they became the next Page/Plant duo. Both songwriters, Wes and Ian began working together and collaborating on original material. Along the way they picked up an extremely talented drummer, Kevin Ponceloranca, and a phenomenal bass player, Luke Minnich, to complete the group.
