7 Seconds

[Brain Toad]

Time for a thread from me, it's been a long time.

7 Seconds, if you didn't already know, are one of the longest running hardcore punk bands out there. They formed in 1979 and are still playing to this day, with all orginial members as far as I know. They are your standard 80s hardcore band with positive lyrics that help further the Youth Crew and Straight Edge scenes of the day. They are nothing but fun to listen to.

In the late 80s they changed their sound a bit for a more mellow and complex rock sound, but left that sound for their hardcore punk sound again in the 90s. The late 80s stuff is decent and interesting at most, but no where near their regular stuff.

If you haven't listened to them, you should especially if you like bands such as Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Brigade

Recommended Albums:
The Crew
Walk Together, Rock Together
Take it Back, Take It On, Take it Over
Ourselves or Soulforce Revolution for the different stuff

Songs:
Young Till I Die
Cleanched Fists, Black Eyes
Walk Together, Rock Together

I have all their albums on Soulseek as well.

[me likes punk]

I think the have either a different drummer or different guitar player.

I have Walk Together, Rock Together and Take it Back, Take it On, Take it Over. They both own hardcore. (pun intended bitches)

[Sleeper]

I really like this band, I've only heard there album Take it Back, Take It On, Take it Over though.

[Flagjacket]

I have Walk With Us, Rock With Us. From Nick. A long time ago.

[Times Ten]

The Crew is great. Even their new stuff is awesome. Classic band.

[AIRIC]

I thought Walk Together, Rock Together was better than The Crew. Not that it matters though because 7 Seconds are awesome.

[KingOfSka]

Theyre a good band. They have really different sounds on all their records, it's cool.

[Gnarmageddon]

I need to get one of their studio albums. I only have Scream Real Loud.

[ibanezman575]

you said you had them
but how does soulseek work

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

7 Seconds are quality. A week or two ago, I went on a serious binge. Favorite songs: Boss, What if There's War in America, and Clenched Fists Black Eyes

[lynch_me]

Love these guys.

[POINTLESS5448]

[TakeWarning]

Pretty fun band, I've had The Crew for a while, haven't listened much.

[Mute Print]

Such an awesome band.

[Subvert_bassist]

I'm so tired of 7 Seconds. After like six shows, they get old. Sac is like a second home to them, so they're down here a lot. The two punks on the cover of Walk Together, Rock Together are my buddies: Mickey Rat of the Secretions and his girlfriend. Oh, and, Kevin Seconds is a complete asshole. I've always been a fan of 7 Seconds' music, though.

[POINTLESS5448]

im so tired of your bitching.

[Unban Me Says Cameo]

Race. Ism. ****ing SUCKSSSSSSSSSS

I've always been a fan of 7 Seconds' music, though.

OH MAN I TOTALLY KNOW 7 SECONDS GOT BORING AFTER I PLAYED GUITAR FOR THEM FOR A YEAR. I only listen to Butt Attack now.

[Flagjacket]

I am on the cover of Suffer.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

How was the BTC?

[RetiredAt21]

I love this band, they're really great.

[Subvert_bassist]

Woops, I meant Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over.

[DaveToopes]

One of my favorite bands. I have 5 albums and love each one.

[MENTAL YO]

You waited long for 21.
For me the fight has just begun.
You get in clubs, drink alcohol,
It makes you feel you're ten feet tall.

I don't wanna grow up,
I'm never getting old.
I'd rather work from 9 to 5
Than drink to stay alive.
I'm gonna stay young until I die!
You grew up fast, now you'll die soon.
I'll never ****ing be like you.
You finish college, grab a wife,
You're dead before you're 35.
I'm gonna stay young until I die!


So good. Amazing song.

[Liebensaft]

I don't like 'em. All their songs sound the same to me, and they just seem like a generic hardcore, straight-edge band.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

One of my favorite hardcore bands. I have Walk Together, Rock Together and Take it Back, Take it On, Take it Over and I love them both.

[Brain Toad]

I don't like 'em. All their songs sound the same to me, and they just seem like a generic hardcore, straight-edge band.
Listen to the albums Ourselves or Soulforce Revolution, those aren't generic hardcore.

And if you don't like 7 Seconds you shouldn't like Minor Threat or Gorilla Biscuits because they are both 'generic hardcore straight edge bands'

[Rise Me Up]

I don't like 'em. All their songs sound the same to me, and they just seem like a generic hardcore, straight-edge band.

I agree with you.

[Skippy Prat]

i just started listen to them alot recently, their speed and energy picks me up after a boring day

[sketchyjoe]

I thought Walk Together, Rock Together was better than The Crew. Not that it matters though because 7 Seconds are awesome.
Ditto.

[Brain Toad]

I don't which of Walk Together, Rock Together and The Crew I like better. The title track of Walk Together is great, so is In Your Face and the infamous cover of 99 Red Balloons. But The Crew has Young Till I Die which is probably my favorite song by them, also Clenched Fists, Black Eyes, Colourblind, and What If There Is a War in America are all fantastic.

I think the albums are tied for me, as their greatest.

Ourselves sounds like an album full of how they sounded on the 99 Red Balloons cover.

If you like their Ourselves style stuff you'd probably enjoy the MIA album After the Fact.

[Brain Toad]

I'm not sure if I liked it or not, but I'll check out that album.

[Liebensaft]

Listen to the albums Ourselves or Soulforce Revolution, those aren't generic hardcore.

And if you don't like 7 Seconds you shouldn't like Minor Threat or Gorilla Biscuits because they are both 'generic hardcore straight edge bands'
I'll get them from you if you have it on Soulseek.

I don't like Gorilla Biscuits, but I enjoy Minor Threat.

[Feel The Darkness]

I'm getting a tattoo of the lyrics from Young til I Die

I <3 7 Seconds

[DaveToopes]

I'll get them from you if you have it on Soulseek.

I don't like Gorilla Biscuits, but I enjoy Minor Threat.

How could you not like Gorilla Biscuits?

[Liebensaft]

I dunno. The same way you don't like Leftover Crack. ****ing weirdo.

[AIRIC]

Leftover Crack are boring.

[DaveToopes]

Truth. Leftover Crack is bad.

[Subvert_bassist]

Yep. But Gorilla Biscuits aren't.

[DaveToopes]

Yep. But Gorilla Biscuits aren't.

This is how everyone should think.

[AIRIC]

Gorilla Biscuits are pretty much the sweetest.

[DaveToopes]

I agree, They make wonderful music. I think I like 7 Seconds a little bit more though.

[AIRIC]

I think Gorilla Biscuts are just a tad bit better than 7 Seconds because they had a seriously ground breaking album in Start Today. I'm not positive on taht since I know nothing of hardcore history, but it's ground breaking enough to me. 7 Seconds don';t have a stand out album to me though. The Crew, sure, but it's not like Start Today, where every song is catchy and awesome.

[DaveToopes]

Well, Skrunnch, I feel that 7 Seconds were very influential and although they may not have a stand out album, I feel that they pioneered a new sound. That sound, is the positive hardcore/youth crew/straight edge sound and made it what is is today.

I must say, though, that both bands are very close in my book.

[AIRIC]

Agreed.We tie. 80's hardcore just sounded really sweet to me now. I'm going to go research this. It sucks though because that will end my "learn Evan Greer lyric's" quest.

[DaveToopes]

Oh dear. I love 80's hardcore. I wish that more people in this forum liked it. Threads like my Government Issue thread and Dag Nasty thread and numerous other threads involving 80's hardcore should recieve more recognition but alas! It doesn't appear that this forum has the same love for the genre as you or I and several others do.

[sketchyjoe]

I love 80s hardcore. Along with the classics like DOA, Bad Brains, The Dicks, The Big Boys etc, there's too many overlooked bands like Black Market Baby, Shattered Faith, F, Jackshit, Gay Cowboys in Bondage, Los Olvidados, Fearless Iranians from Hell, Really Red, the Tar Babies, the Hates, the Nun****ers, Skate Death, 76% Uncertain, JFA, Free Beer, Pariah, Vatican Commandos and Squirrel Bait.

[Flagjacket]

Black Market Baby is good. I think Uniform Choice and SS Decontrol are overlooked.

[sketchyjoe]

SS Decontrol are good stuff. I'll have to check out Uniform Choice.

[DaveToopes]

Die Kreuzen are really good too.

[Liebensaft]

Leftover Crack are boring.
Well, they're not Choking Victim.

More on topic, however, I can't get into 7 Seconds or Gorilla Biscuits. At least I tried before deeming them unfit for my ears.

[sketchyjoe]

If you can't get into GB there is no hope for you.

[AIRIC]

I could get into GB even when I hated hardcore.

[DaveToopes]

Yeah, so could I. Same with Minor threat and Black Flag, although I originally thought that they were just punk bands.

[711]

Not my favorite band, but i do like them.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Gorilla Biscuits are amazing. I enjoy Leftover Crack. GB are way better than 7Seconds. 7Seconds are excellent, but not nearly GB

[Brain Toad]

If you can't get into GB there is no hope for you.

I had trouble getting into them at first. I like Minor Threat and 7 Seconds more though.

[Ghostfire3]

In my oppinion: Minor Threat > Gorilla Biscuits > 7 Seconds

All good bands though.

[Biscuit_box]

These guys are one of my most listened to bands. Love these guys. I have to get more of their stuff. Their version of 99 Red Balloons is the best I've heard yet. As Ghostfire said, Gorilla Biscuits are better but these guys are one of the best. I love the raw sound of the album "Skins, Brains and Guts"

[sketchyjoe]

I like that one too.

[TakeWarning]

I like GB and 7 Seconds just the same.

[Bukowski]

Walk Together Rock Together is a fantastic album, i think it's much better than The Crew to be honest. I haven't listened to The Crew for ages though. 7 Seconds are such a sweet band.

I love 80s hardcore.

What a great list.

Squirrel Bait are amazing, they deserve props. I think they were the band that some members of Slint were in before Slint formed. Kid Dynamite is an amazing song.

I love the Tar Babies too, they remind me of the Minutemen and Big Boys A LOT, which is always a good thing for me. I think they were on SST too.

[IgniteYourAvail]

Die Kreuzen are really good too.
Yes.

7 Seconds are one of my favorite bands. Ever.

[DaveToopes]

I love the Tar Babies too, they remind me of the Minutemen and Big Boys A LOT, which is always a good thing for me. I think they were on SST too.

I forgot about them, they're really good.

Bukowski seems to be knowledgeable (sp) about 80's hardcore.

[RetiredAt21]

Gorilla Biscuits > Minor Threat > 7 Seconds

Fact.

[sketchyjoe]

Gorilla Biscuits > Minor Threat > 7 Seconds

Fact.
True. But...

Bad Brains > Gorilla Biscuits > Minor Threat > 7 Seconds

[POINTLESS5448]

i dont know. id put minor threat before gorilla biscuits.

[Ghostfire3]

True. But...

Bad Brains > Minor Threat > Gorilla Biscuits > 7 Seconds

Fix'd.

But it's hard to say who was better between Minor Threat and Bad Brains, IMO.

[sketchyjoe]

Fix'd.

But it's hard to say who was better between Minor Threat and Bad Brains, IMO.
Bad Brains.

And GB are better than Minor Threat.

[Bukowski]

I listened to The Crew again, and i can agree that it's a very good album. Clenched Fists Black Eyes and Young 'til I Die are my favorite songs it.

Walk Together.. is still my favorite though.

[Brain Toad]

7 Seconds > Minor Threat > GB = Bad Brains for me.

[sketchyjoe]

7 Seconds > Minor Threat > GB = Bad Brains for me.
Now you're just being silly.

[Iron Bug]

Bad Brains > Minor Threat = 7 Seconds > GB

[RetiredAt21]

I think Bad Brains are way better than Minor Threat.

[DaveToopes]

Bad Brains is good. I think they're a bit over rated though. I just can't get into HR's vocals very much.

[AIRIC]

Yeah. I listened to their S/t the other day. Definintely good, but not better than GB or Minor Threat.

[Brain Toad]

I've never been that huge of a Bad Brains fan, I enjoy 7 Seconds and Minor Threat much more.

[AIRIC]

Same here.

[sketchyjoe]

Bad Brains are superior in every way.

[RetiredAt21]

Bad Brains is good. I think they're a bit over rated though. I just can't get into HR's vocals very much.

Yeah, they're kind of annoying.

[sketchyjoe]

They're awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Awesome, but annoying.

[Bukowski]

They're awesome.

123

[Ghostfire3]

They're awesome.

QFT

[RetiredAt21]

Qft?

[Unban Me Says Cameo]

quoted for truth you noob

[Aus Rotten]

The Crew, Walk Together Rock Together, and Old School are my favorite albums by far. Not a fan of Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over! though. It was very generic and boring in my opinion.

[RetiredAt21]

quoted for truth you noob

Shuddap.

[Liebensaft]

Bad Brains are superior in every way.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
