Punk energy and punk attitude, meshed with howling and clashing 70s rock guitar noise, placed all-girl outfit L7 among the wildest and best of those bands branded as “grunge” by the late 80s music press. Released in 1990, Smell The Magic was a 6-track manifesto of all-out she-power announcing L7 as the world’s pre-eminent and most fearless clit-rockers, mercilessly crucifying their stunted male minions on the altar of labial psychosis.
