What happens when one of punk rock’s most influential voices sits down to talk about growing up, growing older, and staying true to yourself through it all?

This week on CASSINGLES, Chris and Courtney Margolin welcome Kevin Seconds, frontman of 7Seconds, one of the most important and enduring bands in punk rock history.
