The Crew (album)

The Crew is the debut studio album by American hardcore punk band 7 Seconds, released in 1984 by BYO Records. The original LP was released with 18 tracks, and later re-released on compact disc with six live bonus tracks.

Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle called the album a "stone classic," writing that "precious few third wave punk-hardcore outfits have aged as stoically – or as relevantly – as vox/guitar sibling duo Kevin Seconds and Steve Youth." In a retrospective review, Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that the band's sound "is distilled ... to a steady grind of too-pah beats and blender-like three-chord sounds, but it’s the combination of this minimalism and Kevin Seconds’s voice — passionate, melodic, hopeful — that makes you believe everything he says." LA Weekly placed The Crew at #3 on its list of the top twenty hardcore albums in history, writing that "7 Seconds wrote the book on positive hardcore and that book is called The Crew."
