For most outsiders, Nevadan music is probably most closely associated with lounge singers like Wayne Newton playing in Las Vegas. Vegas, Reno, Carson City and other cities, however, have had innovative musical communities.

Punk rock

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 DC and elsewhere around the country.
