Holy shit! Remember this?! L7 was my very favorite band in high school, apart from Mudhoney. Once, when they played the Rialto Theatre, lead singer Donita Sparks jumped into the crowd, and I ran over to...support her. For my efforts I got one of her steel-toed 14-holes to the face, chipping one of my teeth, which remains chipped to this very day. It was awesome. My first band, 'Lint', learned every L7 song, partly because they're simple songs, but mostly because they're awesome.
'Smell the Magic' remains one of my favorite albums, and is also the best t-shirt I've ever owned (google it). 'Bricks are Heavy' was also a solid album. Screw it, here's 'Fast and Frightening' too. Pay attention to the lyrics - how they and those rolled Rs confused and piqued a certain pimply teen's imagination...
