Seven Mary Three got started in 1992 at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where Jason Ross and Jason Pollock met and decided to split the songwriting between them: Ross sang lead and played rhythm guitar, Pollock took lead guitar and backing vocals. Bassist Casey Daniel and drummer Giti Khalsa filled out the lineup, and they cut their teeth in coffeehouses and clubs. The name came from the TV cop show CHiPs, the radio call sign of Officer Jon Baker, the motorcycle cop Larry Wilcox played, and Pollock later admitted they had simply got fed up hunting for a cool one.
They put Churn out on their own in 1994, and "Cumbersome" is the song they will always be known for: a brooding, heavy-lidded grinder with a chorus that lands like a dropped engine block. "Devil Boy" showed the darker corners of the same record. RockCrown arrived in 1997 with "Lucky" and its title track, and they kept at it into the new century with The Economy of Sound ("Wait") and Dis/Location ("Without You Feels"), seven studio albums in all. Pollock left in 1999 and Khalsa in 2006, while Ross and Daniel saw it through to 2012.
