From local tounge in cheek (a band signature) to blues, swing, as well as ballads, this CD flows like the spin of a radio dial and is full of variety. Included in this format is a PSA, which the band takes very seriously. The 60 second PSA draws attention to the importance of parental guidance for kids on the internet. "It was the tragic Megan Meier’s story that shook all of us to the core as to what the cyber world is capable of, and awareness was the only thing we had in our arsenal. Megan Meier tragically took her life after being targeted by cyber slander and a neighbor in a vicious hoax." McGroarty added. " We wrote and produced it then built the radio CD around it. We are hopeful every radio station will find a hole in their schedule to run it, and often," SE7EN SOUTH band member Kevin McGroarty stated. "Our mission was to create a variety album that any traditional or web radio station might find something to fit their catagory, but the PSA is something we hope every single one will utilize.
"We wanted to raise awareness to every demographic, the PSA "I’m Falling" features band member George Stuscavage’s daughter singing lyrics, and delivers the message in a thought provoking manner." McGroarty added.
