Tim learned the bass and began to channel a tough childhood into music. By the time he was in his early 20’s he was in Rage Against The Machine. Tim was also in Audioslave (where he met Jonny) and Prophets of Rage.
Mathias was born and bred in France, later meeting Tim after moving to LA, through their shared passion for mountain biking. In 2015 the two formed the trio Wakrat and toured Europe, and with Prophets of Rage.
Tim and Jonny first started writing music together after Audioslave broke up. Jonny had been their guitar tech, but that humble position is deceptive - Jonny was discovered in the 90’s by Rick Rubin and signed to his label American Recordings, and he has also worked with Johnny Cash, Puscifer, David J of Bauhaus, and many others.
ABOUT 7D7D
7D7D is a Los Angeles based band comprised of Tim Commerford (bass), Mathias Wakrat (drums) and Jonny Polonsky (guitar).
Since releasing their debut single Capitalism on Black Friday November 25, 2022, the trio has continued to put out powerful and confrontational songs. All of these songs were recorded in Tim & Mathias' LA studio, while Jonny would add his parts from his NY based studio.
With Jonny having recently relocated to Los Angeles the band began rehearsing and soon after booked their debut gig. Jonny explains, "We’ve been recording music for the last two or three years via email, but since my move from NYC to LA in January, we’ve been practicing pretty steadily. It feels really thrilling to be finally getting out there performing live for the people."
"It’s exciting to finally hear these songs live, they sound way better than expected", added Mathias. "It’s the most fun music project I’ve ever been a part of for sure."
Tim continued, "I’m proud to be a part of this artistic fighter jet that never stops teaching me. I’m lucky to be with players like Mathias and Jonny. Plus, we’re at war and I need to sing about it."
The band plan to continue to record and release new music, one single at a time - stay tuned!
