Reno was a regional capital for punk rock, led by Kevin Seconds of 7 Seconds, a noted hardcore punk band. Called Skeeno (Reno, Lake Tahoe, Sparks), the Reno scene had a distinctive fashion statement, placing charcoal markings underneath the eyes. Outside of 7 Seconds, whose recordings have made them punk legends, Skeeno hardcore bands included Section 8, the Wrecks, Urban Assault and Thursting Squirters. Reno was home to Positive Force, a loose organization that organized the punk rock community in a given place. Positive Force spread to Chicago, Washington D.C. and elsewhere around the country [1].
