L7
A rare all-female grunge band whose playfulness was matched by their serious politics and sheer sonic aggression.
Although often lumped in with the "Seattle Movement" of the early '90s (due to their sound, look, and attitude),
the all-female punk band L7 originally hailed from Los Angeles. The seeds for L7 (whose name was taken
from a slang term in the '50s that meant someone who was a "square") were planted in 1985, when a pair
of guitarist/singers, Suzi Gardner and Donita Sparks, decided to start a band. Over the next few years,
the group extended its lineup to include bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Dee Plakas,
as its sound grew more and more metallic yet never lost the attack and simplicity of punk...

SLEEVE NEAR MINT but (please, see pictures and read above description)
On 1991's Smell the Magic, L7 begins to find the sense of melody to complement its distorted punk guitar assault.
The band deserves ultimate praise for writing from a completely female perspective at all times,
and the fabulous "Fast and Frightening" just might be the ultimate "riot grrrl" anthem.
"Shove" pleads the case for mosh pit etiquette, while the self-mocking "Broomstick" celebrates
any "rock & roll hags" accusations with a sense of humor. "'Till the Wheels Fall Off" is another standout...(AllMusic)
