When people talk about US hardcore punk, they invariably talk about Black Flag, Agnostic Front, Minor Threat and the earliest days of Bad Religion.
Nevada’s 7Seconds – formed by brothers Kevin Seconds and Steve Youth – were an equally important component of the scene’s formation. Via albums like ‘The Crew’ (1984), ‘New Wind’ (1986) they influenced a generation of fledgling musicians. Whilst later albums took a more melodic route, the band never lost their knack for delivering a potent message.
