The Seconds are a three-piece from New York City, on the forefront of the Neo-No Wave/Post-Punk scene, along with the Liars, Radio 4, and Ex Models (in fact, The Seconds' guitarist Zachary plays in Ex Models, while drummer Brian is also in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Their incredibly tight and frenetic proto-punk, with buzzsaw-like guitars, punching bass, and driving drums, is reminiscent of Gang of Four, Richard Hell, early Devo, and the Minutemen. Also included is their extremely cool cover of Madonna's "Burning Up."
