Nothing too heavy here, just a happy and fun photo dedication to one of the
greats... 7 Seconds. As always, big thanks to Ken for contributing these shots. Use your head, be aware, give a fuck! -Tim DCXX

IN YOUR FACE

You wanna be the way I am

But you could never understand

You shave your fuckin' head

Then you turn your back

On your best friends



It's not just in my head

It's in my heart

And you're not gonna 
Tear this one apart

The way you look it fits

How come your attitude is shit?

You say you do it your own way

But now I have the price to pay



If I can give a fuck

You better start, so...

Use your head be aware

Give a fuck!

The same routine. fuck up again

You have no real regrets

But this is not just something

I can easily forget



I can't believe you've come this far

Yet still so unaware

No cause no brains no fire inside

When will you learn to care

  1. I love every era of 7 Seconds. What a great band. I didn't know people couldn't stand them until Rob posted about them. How can a person NOT love & Seconds?

  2. IMHO, 7 Seconds and Black Flag are the top two best hardcore bands of all time. 'nuff said.

  3. My first hardcore album was a copy of Praise in 1987, right around when everyone said they were turning into U2. Still love this band.

  4. Great band. I remember getting "The Crew" and being amazed how great it sounded. Great songs, great production. Still in heavy rotation around here! Steve Youth...one of the best bassists ever in hardcore. I saw them around 99 or so at the Cocodrie in SF and they rocked and the place went apeshit!

  5. By the way, in addition to all of their classic '80s records, their 1999 album Good To Go kicks ass too.

  6. say them on "the crew" tour. awesome band but waaaaay to many
    a-holes would ruin their set by getting up on stage and grabbing the mic away from kevin. its fine when he would put the mic into the crowd to sing along but...
