7seconds - New Wind (TRUST Edition) (2025) Hi-Res

Trust Records has announced a special reissue of 7 Seconds’ classic hardcore punk album New Wind that also includes Change in My Head, a new remix of the LP by Ian MacKaye—the album’s original producer—and Inner Ear Studios’ Don Zientara.

Change in My Head is billed as a unique snapshot of the essential Reno band that restores never-before-released tracks from the New Wind recording sessions in 1985, in addition to reimagining the songs that originally made it onto the tracklist. Ahead of its release, 7 Seconds frontman Kevin Seconds and MacKaye will hold an in-person conversation about the making of New Wind and Change in My Head on April 15 at Los Angeles’ Brain Dead Studios.

“The whole time period, between the winter of 1985 and all throughout 1986, was arguably the most important and life-changing period for 7 Seconds,” explained Kevin Seconds. “We all were starting to feel like the adults that we fought so rigorously to never become. Members were getting married, having kids, trying to hold down real jobs and face responsibilities while still maintaining our so-called ‘hardcore cred’ and attempting to feel relevant. It was an incredibly emotional and complicated time for all of us but man, did it ever make us tough and more determined to do what we wanted to do as creative people and as a band.”
