Profile Seventh Key is an American rock band formed by Mike Slamer of City Boy and Streets and Billy Greer of Streets and Kansas. The current lineup consists of Greer on bass and lead vocals, Slamer on guitar, bass, and keyboard, Pat McDonald on drums, David Manion on keyboard, and Terry Brock on guitar and backing vocals. The band had two previous drummers, Chet Wynd (2001) and Jamie Thompson (2004), as well as guest appearances by Robby Steinhardt of Kansas on the violin (2005) and Johnny Greer on the mandolin (2005).

Melodic Hard Rock fans have been waiting a long time for this: “I Will Survive”, the new CD by SEVENTH KEY, the first album of studio recordings from the band since 2004 to be released on Frontiers Records, featuring Steve Walsh of Kansas, Mike Slamer of City Boy and Billy Greer.

Terry Brock of Strangeways fame plays a lesser role than before (he has previously been guitarist and backing vocalist), merely backing up Greer’s excellent lead vocals, but at least he is still involved. Since the days of Streets, Greer too has been an ongoing member of Kansas, so it should come as no surprise that there are musical links between this band and that one.
