===Mainstream success=== In 1994 the band released the album ''[[Churn (Seven Mary Three album)|Churn]]'' independently. The album garnered the band airplay on WJRR 101.1 FM, a rock station in [[Orlando, Florida]], for the future hit single "[[Cumbersome]]".<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Given this minor success, the band relocated to the Orlando area where they continued to expand their fan base.<ref name="LarkinHR">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Heavy Rock]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1999|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0257-7|page=394}}</ref> This regional success soon caught the attention of major-label scouts.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> In May 1995, Ross, Pollock, and Khalsa graduated from William & Mary and moved to Florida.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The band signed with Mammoth and re-recorded the songs on ''Churn'', plus two new ones, to create the commercially successful ''[[American Standard (Seven Mary Three album)|American Standard]]'' in 1995.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> Despite some critics accusing the band of mimicking [[Pearl Jam]] and other [[alternative rock]] acts, only seven months after its release, ''American Standard'' achieved [[Music recording sales certification|platinum status]]. This accomplishment can be attributed to the success of "Cumbersome," which was a Top 40 hit, as well as another single, "[[Water's Edge]]", which fared well on the rock charts. After touring throughout 1996, the band returned to the studio for a follow-up to ''American Standard''. During this time, Mammoth and Atlantic split, forcing Seven Mary Three to sign with [[Atlantic Records]], releasing ''[[RockCrown]]'' in 1997.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The album saw the band de-emphasize hard rock, focusing more on acoustic [[folk rock]] and a "traditional singer/songwriter" style. ''RockCrown'' did not match fan expectations, reaching No. 75 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and failing to match the success of its predecessor. A second effort under Atlantic, ''[[Orange Ave.]]'' debuted the following year and charted considerably lower; although, its single "Over Your Shoulder" performed moderately. In 1999, Jason Pollock left the band after suffering from burnout and writer's block. Thomas Juliano was chosen as the band's new guitarist. In the summer of 2001, Seven Mary Three returned to Mammoth Records and producer Tom Morris. The resulting effort became ''[[The Economy of Sound]]''. This fifth studio album included the single "[[Wait (Seven Mary Three song)|Wait]]", a track that served as the lead single from the ''[[Crazy/Beautiful#Soundtrack|Crazy/Beautiful film soundtrack]]''. After ''The Economy of Sound'', the group shifted once again to [[DRT Entertainment]] and, in 2004, released ''[[Dis/Location]]''. Their sixth studio album, it failed entirely to chart as did its only single. Four years later, a seventh album, ''[[Day & Nightdriving]]'', was released under Bellum Records. Giti Khalsa left the band in 2006 after recording the drum tracks for ''Day & Nightdriving'', and Mike Levesque joined the band on drums. In December 2008, the group re-released their long out-of-print debut album ''Churn''. On February 9, 2010, Seven Mary Three released the live acoustic album ''Backbooth''. Seven Mary Three broke up suddenly in December 2012, without any announcements or updates to their website or Facebook page. The following year, Jason Ross became the head of media and strategic partnerships for [[The Bowery Presents]], one of New York's most powerful music production companies. On December 15, 2021, Seven Mary Three’s Facebook page was updated for the first time since 2012, with a link to a website called High Shelter, where Jason Ross addressed the hiatus, the current status of the band, and the future plans. On October 4, 2023, Seven Mary Three released the song “Settle Up” as single for the re-issue of their 2004 album ''[[Dis/Location]]''. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/21-90s-one-hit-wonders-where-are-they-now |title='90s One-Hit Wonders: Where Are They Now? |website=Buzzfeed.com |date=2013-02-13 |access-date=2020-03-07}}</ref>
