LZ7 is the latest offering from the Manchester-based outfit that brought you the World Wide Message Tribe. An energetic and explosive combination of rock, hip hop and tough street beats, LZ7 bring their noisy gospel to schools, prisons and events across the UK and Europe.

Front man Lindz West is a former member of The Tribe, and his new band is proving just as popular: 2000 people came to the launch of LZ7's album, Ruckus, at the Manchester Apollo. Just in case you haven't got where the music's coming from, LZ7's website points out what the dictionary says under ruckus: '(the) act of making a noisy disturbance'.
