Archive material and source history
7 Seconds started in Reno, Nevada in 1980 with Kevin Seconds on vocals, Troy Mowat on guitar, Steve Youth on bass, and Scott Araya on drums. Their early sound was raw and direct, with songs like 'We're Gonna Fight' and 'Racism Sucks' that spoke plainly about social issues and personal frustration. They weren't trying to be subtle about it.
Their 1984 album 'Walk Together, Rock Together' became a staple in punk circles, capturing their energy and straightforward approach. The lineup shifted over time, with other musicians like Nello Yuricich and Bobby Adams coming through the band, but Kevin Seconds remained the consistent voice at the center.
They kept playing shows and putting out records, maintaining a connection to the DIY spirit of their beginnings. Songs like '99 Red Balloons' and 'New Wind' showed they could write catchy tunes without smoothing out their edges. They never really stopped being that band from Reno.
