The discography of the rock band L7. L7 was formed by Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner on shared electric guitar and shared vocals in 1985.[1] A year prior, Gardner had performed backing vocals on the Black Flag song "Slip It In". The band also consisted of bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Roy Koutsky (who was in the band for a year and a half). After their debut the band recruited Demetra Plakas as their permanent drummer. This line up continued through their albums, Smell the Magic in 1990 with Subpop records, with signing to the record label Slash the band had recorded three albums, Bricks Are Heavy in 1992, and Hungry for Stink in 1994. By the time 1996 came around Finch had wanted to leave. While the band was preparing to record their next album. Greta Brink had taken over bass for the new album, The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum. Which was released in 1997. Gail Greenwood took over as their bassist for their final album, Slap-Happy which was produced by their own record company, Wax Tadpole records. After this the band started to break up when Greenwood left the band. Janis Tanaka had taken over bass. However the band ended up going into an hiatus, in 2001.
