L7 (album)


L7 is the debut studio album by American rock band L7, released in September 1988, by Epitaph Records.

Production

The album was recorded in Brett Gurewitz's studio, in Hollywood, California. It is the band's only album with drummer Roy Koutsky.
The album's first track, "Bite the Wax Tadpole," refers to the legend that this is a Chinese transliteration of "Coca-Cola".

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the album "is a heady but largely inconsequential introduction; it’s all brute force and speed, grunge as a sheer sonic description." Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Steve Huey has stated that the band's "trademark grungy fusion of punk and metal" wasn't fully formed yet.
