Ourselves is a 1988 album by hardcore punk band 7 Seconds. [2] [5]
Trouser Press called Ourselves "state of the art: intelligent lyrics of personal and political consequence, moderately powerful singing, buzzing guitars and brisk tempos." [6] Spin called it "fun, fast and smart—a pleasant alternative to mall-born pop slush and three-time losers retreading Dolls riffs." [1]
All songs written by Kevin Seconds, except where noted.
Hardcore punk is a punk rock subgenre and subculture that originated in the late 1970s. It is generally faster, harder, and more aggressive than other forms of punk rock. Its roots can be traced to earlier punk scenes in San Francisco and Southern California which arose as a reaction against the still predominant hippie cultural climate of the time. It was also inspired by Washington, D.C., and New York punk rock and early proto-punk. Hardcore punk generally disavows commercialism, the established music industry and "anything similar to the characteristics of mainstream rock" and often addresses social and political topics with "confrontational, politically charged lyrics".
