Biography

The Washington D.C. area band Sev first performed together live on October 31, 1995. The formation happened earlier that summer when Max asked bassist Will, who was in another band at the time with him, to start a new project. With the gears in motion for a new sound, Will brought in his high school friend Dennis as the band's drummer. Singer/rapper Phil was the next to join, followed quickly by vocalist/guitarist Danny.

Rise

Sev quickly gained the attention of the Mid-Atlantic Music Scene. Winning the "Big Break" contest hosted by at-the-time local alternative rock radio station 99.1 WHFS, SEV opened the 1999 HFStival with their performance on the Street Stage. In 2000, Sev started a campaign to be noticed by major labels in New York City.

Sev (food)

Sev is a popular Indian snack food consisting of small pieces of crunchy noodles made from chickpea flour paste, which is seasoned with turmeric, cayenne, and ajwain before being deep-fried in oil. These noodles vary in thickness. Ready-to-eat varieties of Sev, including flavoured Sev, are available in Indian stores.

Sev is eaten as a standalone snack as well as a topping on dishes like Bhelpuri and Sevpuri. Sev can be made at home and stored for weeks in airtight containers.

The snack is popular in Madhya Pradesh, especially in the cities of Ratlam and Indore, where many snack foods consist of sev as a main ingredient. In Madhya Pradesh, sev is used as a side ingredient in almost every chaat snack food, especially ratlami sev, which is made from cloves and chickpea flour. Many varieties of sev are sold commercially, such as long (clove) sev, tomato Sev, palak sev, plain sev, and bhujia.
