L7 Bricks Are Heavy Flac
Though they hailed from sunny L.A., L7 became the poster girls for grunge in 1992, with the meteoric success of their third album, Bricks Are Heavy. While their previous efforts had sounded sloppy and uneven, Nevermind producer Butch Vig helped the girls obtain a tight, compact sound on Bricks, pushing them to focus on their songwriting to boot. Bricks Are Heavy was the third album by L7 originally released in 1992. Produced by Butch Vig Bricks Are Heavy is somewhat poppier with more focused songwriting than their previous LP's and was the bands breakthrough album fueled by the success of the single 'Pretend We're Dead.'

Best man speech examples. The discography for the rock band L7.
L7 was originally formed in 1985 by Donita Sparks vocals/guitar and Suzi Gardner vocals/guitar.[1] The band's early line up consisted of bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Roy Koutsky. After their debut album, the band recruited Demetra Plakas as their permanent drummer. This line up continued through their albums, Smell the Magic (1990) on Subpop records, and both albums Bricks Are Heavy (1992), and Hungry for Stink (1994) on Slash Records. Finch elected to leave the band to attend college and Greta Brink replaced Finch as the bass player for The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum, the third and final album released with Slash Records in 1997. Gail Greenwood took over as their bassist for the album Slap-Happy (1999) which was produced by L7's own company, Wax Tadpole Records. After this, there were further changes to the line up when Greenwood left the band, replaced by Janis Tanaka on bass. The band announced it was on an indefinite hiatus in 2001.
L7 reunited in 2014, including the primary bassist Jennifer Finch for the first time since 1996. The following year the band performed in Europe and North America. The reception was positive and the band continued to tour in 2016 and 2017. In 2016, a Kickstarter funded documentary film titled L7: Pretend We're Dead, directed by Sarah Price, was screened at film festivals and later release in the US and abroad.[2]
In September 2017, the band released the single 'Dispatch From Mar-a-Lago,' their first new song in eighteen years. This song was closely followed by the single 'I Came Back to Bitch' in 2018.
On May 3, 2019, L7's full length album Scatter the Rats was released to generally favorable reviews.[3]
