Interviews: Luis Hernandez (Alpha & Omega)

Contributed by johngentile. Posted by kira on Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 7:00 PM (EDT)
Image Before the recording of Alpha & Omega's second LP, No Rest, No Peace a string of horrifying coincidences began to crop up around vocalist Luis Hernandez- Three of his best friends suddenly passed away and each had an eerie connection to the vocalist. While that would cause some people to lock their doors and coat the room with bubble wrap, Hernandez became reckless, subjecting himself to more and more dangerous dares.

That's probably the reason why on No Rest, No Peace the grim reaper seems to pop up on every corner. Throughout the record, he follows Hernandez, always remaining just out of sight, which in some ways, is even worse than knowing when he's coming.

In order to understand Hernandez's morbidity, punknews' John Gentile called up the vocalist where they talked about Hernandez's upbringing, the new record, metaphysics, and doing swan dives off of cliffs.

7 Seconds sign to Rise Records

Posted by bryne on Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 1:30 PM (EDT)
7 Seconds Rise Records has added 7 Seconds to their roster. The legendary west coast punks will be hitting the studio this summer to begin recording new music for an upcoming 7-inch and full-length, both for the label. Frontman Kevin Seconds had this to say about the new material:

We have about 20 new songs that we'll record the best 13 songs from. This new record will be all about the energy and drive we still very much possess as a hardcore band. It's been 9 long years since we've recorded a new album so there's a great deal of urgency in them, with just the right mixture of both fast and mid-tempo tunes for people to sink their teeth into.

7 Seconds last released Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over! in 2005 via SideOneDummy. The band have some festival dates coming up, including shows at Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas and This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia.
