Forming in Reno, NV in January 1980, 7 Seconds was the originator of the West Coast Hardcore sound that influenced just about every hardcore band including; Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits and modern day bands like Title Fight and American Nightmare. It is safe to say the band helped start the “Youth Crew” sound. Releasing an EP called “Walk Together, Rock Together” in 1985 officially put them on the map. Their positive lyrical content influenced so many youths over the years and they weren’t afraid to push the envelope.

The episode, which airs June 1 at 1 p.m. ET, co-stars My Chemical Romance bassist (and Way's brother) Mikey Way as the frontman for a death-metal band called Asthma. The group seeks revenge against the Aquabats after losing a battle of the bands because Aquabat Ricky Fitness (Richard Folomir) develops a crush on a contestant named Rachael Moonbug and unjustly awards her the $750 grand prize..

need a lot of time. I don’t have a problem trying to explain, it helps me see the situation clearer, but clearly propaganda is doing its dirty job. At any encounter people tend to take a negative view on the situation. Everyone I speak to in person changes their opinion after a single conversation. And people become fascinated with the story, showing real and honest interest. There are a lot of people who actually do want to change the country for the better, who admit they have no rights and feel lost.

Revolutions Per Minute was my first Rise Against record, which I ended up buying after seeing the music video for "Heaven Knows" on MuchMusic's The Punk Show. That program, hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, introduced me to Fat Wreck Chords, Epitaph and most of the punk bands I still love today. The actual video for "Heaven Knows" is pretty simple, but the song still rules and perfectly sets the tone for the rawness and aggression that's found throughout the rest of the album. The band has gone on to release other amazing records over the years, but I still go back to this one and I'd say it definitely qualifies as an essential release. Plus the band's take on Journey's "Any Way You Want It" is still one of the best cover songs I've ever heard. This band knows how to find the perfect balance between serious and fun.

And for as miserable as his wealth has made him by this point (see "Hit the mall, pick up some Gucci/ Now ain't nothing new but your shoes" from 2011's "Murder to Excellence"), he anticipated this back in 2003 in the College Dropout days. Despite being more narratively framed and mildly worded, "All Falls Down" is very thematically similar to "New Slaves" a decade prior: "Shine because they hate us/ Floss cause we the greatest/ We tryna buy back our 40 acres," and yet -- and yet! -- after you succeed in buying back those 40 acres, "Even if you in a Benz you still a ***** in a coupe," "Because they made us hate ourself and love they wealth," "And the white man get paid off of all of that." Sounds pretty familiar -- yes, gasp! in the "good old days" before he "sold out" and "lost touch with himself" Kanye was talking about the same things! Not to mention it acknowledges and does away with accusations of hypocrisy on its own: "I ain't even gon act holier than thou/ Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou..." Like, duh guys, he's painfully aware that he's part of the problem. He hates himself for it. He's still trapped in it. And now he's going to try and find a way out.

If Skate and Surf doesn’t return next year, we’ll know why. It paled in comparison to 2012’s Bamboozle, which on its own wasn’t a perfect experience... But if you came to see good bands, you left Six Flags Great Adventure having seen plenty of them.

I don’t know ... but I think that the last album was about conflicts: We had a giant battle with our record company, they sued us for $30 million, we fought them for two years and subsequently made a film about it as well, called Artifact. But it was an album about conflict and survival. And this is an album that’s much more reflective. And it was made without the burden of a giant war on our shoulders, and it was actually really a lot of fun. It was exactly how it should be.
