Walk Together, Rock Together is a studio album by hardcore punk band 7 Seconds, released in 1985. The album was originally released as an EP, but was later expanded into a full-length album.[4][5]

Background

Walk Together, Rock Together was originally released as an EP in 1985. In 1986, it was expanded into a full length by adding live songs to the albums B-Side.[6] The studio tracks were produced by Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye,[7] who also provided backing vocals, and mixed by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.[8]

Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "an essential chapter of early hardcore."[1] Maximum Rocknroll wrote that "all the pleasant harmonies and sing-alongs are present in full form, and the well thought-out lyrics that make this band what they are."[9] Trouser Press wrote that the album "demonstrates an early interest in slowing things down and tuning them up along positive Clash/Pistols lines."[10]
