Ourselves (album)


Ourselves is a 1988 album by hardcore punk band 7 Seconds.

Critical reception

Trouser Press called Ourselves "state of the art: intelligent lyrics of personal and political consequence, moderately powerful singing, buzzing guitars and brisk tempos." Spin called it "fun, fast and smart—a pleasant alternative to mall-born pop slush and three-time losers retreading Dolls riffs."
