7 SECONDS - LIVE THE VEX, CA, 1982

Early live stuff.
Early 7Secs-Core which is still influenced by some UK Oi bands; simple melodic hardcore.
Songs:
1. This Is My Life
2. Out Of Touch
2. Skins Brains & Guts ( Great song )

Live at The Vex, Los Angeles, CA, fall 1982.
Great songs, great band, great people! 7 SECONDS were almost singlehandedly resposible for creating the enthusiatic, intelligent Reno hardcore scene, and that same enthusiasm and intelligence are the hallmarks of their primitively-produced debut EP. Most of the tracks are speedy thrashers propelled by soccer choruses and an exceptionally trebly guitar, though a couple ("Racism Sucks", "We're Gonna Fight") have a slower Oi-type sound. "Anti-Klan" is destined to become one of the great punk anthems of the 80's.

I saw these guys in the mid 80s and they were GREAT! Long intros and short high energy tunes...plus longer singalongs! Lyrics were thought provoking and inspirational. Plus, who can't hum along to these tunes? These days, when I see bands, how many tunes can I walk out humming...BLAH!!!? "We're Gonna Fight" should be hit today esp in these apathetic times. Kudos to 7 Seconds. 30-50+ KILLER songs that get stuck in yr head... FOREVER! This my people, is THEE SHIT!

Stupid lame society, you wanna take control of me

Parents wanna run my life, some girls act like my fuckin' wife

I fucking love 7SECONDS my favorite band of all time

The VEX was the heart of Punk. No where else could you have seen bands like Black Flag, Social Distortion, Circle Jerks all on one bill or mixed with equally amazing bands! There were a lot of great venues, but nothing compared to the VEX!!!

I believe this summer of June 1983 not 82. How do I know? I was there, and Kevin Seconds is wearing Canada's "Stretch Marks" which were friends of mine too.They also played the same gig and they did not come out here until that time. Also this is The Vex # 3 deep on Soto St.

[deathwish959]

this is such an under rated punk band, i say this was one of the few "smart" hardcore bands in the 80's

[westcoastla]
