Our Take

It's time to take a whiff of L7's "Smell The Magic," an album that hits harder than a punch from a drunken uncle at a family reunion. This record, originally released in 1990, still smells fresher than your gym socks after a week of neglect.

From the moment the first track "Shove" kicks in, you'll find yourself headbanging like you're at a heavy metal concert in the '80s. The grungy guitars and raw vocals of Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner will make you feel like you've been transported back to a dingy basement venue where sweat and beer mix in a wholesome concoction.

Tracks like "Fast and Frightening" and "Broomstick" showcase the band's ferocity and no-holds-barred attitude. It's like being hit in the face with a brick made of pure rock 'n' roll. And let's not forget the underrated gem, "Packin' a Rod," which will have you feeling like a badass ready to take on the world.

But it's not all about aggression and power chords. Tracks like "Just Like Me" show a softer, more melodic side to L7, proving that they're not just a one-trick pony.

So, go ahead, give "Smell The Magic" a spin. It may not actually smell like roses, but it sure as hell rocks like a hurricane. L7 may have been ahead of their time in the '90s, but this album proves that their magic still lingers on.

About the artist

L7

L7 burst onto the music scene in the late 1980s with their raw, unapologetic punk rock sound. Hailing from Los Angeles, this all-female band quickly made a name for themselves with their fierce lyrics and high-energy performances. Their 1992 album, "Bricks Are Heavy," solidified their place in music history with hits like "Pretend We're Dead" and "Shitlist." Known for their in-your-face attitude and no-holds-barred approach to rock, L7 has become synonymous with the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s. But don't let their tough exterior fool you - underneath it all, L7 are a group of talented musicians who know how to craft a killer tune. From their catchy hooks to their powerful riffs, this band knows how to get a crowd moving. With their recent comeback in the 2010s, L7 has proven that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with singer Donita Sparks leading the charge with her electrifying stage presence. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the punk rock scene, L7 is a band that demands to be heard. So crank up the volume, let loose, and get ready to rock out with one of the most iconic bands in music history. L7 is here to stay, and they're not taking any prisoners.
