2004 was a very busy year for 7th heaven.
Since releasing "Silver" , now all ther reviews started coming in from around the world.
It was the first time 7th heaven was now known in places like: UK, Italy, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland, France and Japan.

A lot of people started comparing 7th heaven to a modern "Def Leppard" and a world-wdie fan base started for 7th heaven. During this time the band signed some distribution agreements with music distributors to facilitate Europe.

MelodicRock.com took a liking to the band and featured the band on the website, which helped move more sales. Brian May of the band Queen even had a photo of 7th heaven on his website letting people know about the medley CD where 7th heaven covers Queen.

Gaining new fans by playing live all the time and adding a unplugged version the band was exposed to a lot of people and grew the fan base back to a respectful level.

One of the biggest things 7th heaven did in 2004 was ran a full-page ad in the Illinois Entertainer Magazine.

Other highlights were playing the Taste of Chicago or over 20,000 people. Playing with Bret Michaels and the Taste of Lombard with the Gin Blossims.
