7 Seconds at Maxwell's (12-06-1986)

On December 6th, 1986, 7 Seconds played at Maxwell’s! In 1985, the Reno, Nevada-based hardcore outfit released their seminal second LP, Walk Together, Rock Together. About mid-way through the set, lead vocalist Kevin Seconds notes that the band played in Canada the night before with S.N.F.U. at Vita Brevis in Montreal. This show at Maxwell’s was smack in the middle of a long two-month run for the band. They played a series of other NYC-area dates in November, including shows at The Pyramid Club, CBGB’s, The Anthrax Club in Norwalk, CT, and City Gardens in Trenton.

The band broke up in 2018, but this past October, they announced that they’ll be touring with Circle Jerks and Negative Approach in 2022.
