About 7 Seconds
7 Seconds is an American hardcore punk band from Reno, Nevada, that was formed in 1980 by two sets of brothers. The band has gone through numerous lineup changes over the subsequent years, with only Kevin Seconds, Steve Youth and Bobby Adams remaining constant members.
The current lineup of 7 Seconds consists of Kevin Seconds , Steve Youth , Troy Mowat , and Bobby Adams .
7 Seconds was formed on January 17, 1980, by two sets of brothers; the Marvelli brothers, using the punk rock names "Kevin Seconds" and "Steve Youth", and the Borghino brothers, who were known as "Tom Munist" and "Dim Menace".
Asked about the origins of the band's name in a December 1982 interview with Flipside magazine, Kevin Seconds recalled:
"...I was ordering The Dils single '198 Seconds of The Dils' from Bomp and I wrote it on a desk and the ink it said 97 Seconds; and then we saw this movie Day of the Jackals or something and all through it there were references to 7 Seconds, and the Dils were like our idols... So we were looking for a name and we were looking at this racing book and it said 7 seconds and we said, 'fuck it, must be an omen,' so we picked it. It's a short, intense name."
This story evolved over time. In the February 2005 issue of AMP, in an article titled, "7 Seconds: 25 Years of Our Core", Kevin Seconds told this tale:
