Fans worldwide have come to love L7′s heavy, riff-oriented guitar grind. L7′s albums have been released on legendary U.S. labels Epitaph, Sub Pop, Slash/Reprise, as well as their own label, Wax Tadpole. Since their recording career began in 1987, L7 have spawned underground and mainstream hits, such as: Shove, Pretend We’re Dead, Shit List, Andres, and Drama. Their music has also appeared on countless soundtracks, including “Natural Born Killers.”

L7 have toured all over the world, numerous times, in clubs, concert halls, and festivals, some of which were: Offshore (Australia), Go Bang (Germany), Lollapalooza (U.S.), Hollywood Rock (Brazil), and Reading (U.K.). In addition to appearing on television shows internationally, including David Letterman, L7 starred in John Water’s movie, “Serial Mom”, and are the subject of a rockumentary by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, entitled “The Beauty Process.”

The L.A. based band, formed in 1985, consisting of Donita Sparks, guitar and vocals, Suzi Gardner, guitar and vocals, Dee Plakas, drums, and at various times, Jennifer Finch, Gail Greenwood, and Janis Tanaka on bass, have also made time to play many benefits for organizations like Rock For Choice (which they formed in1991), Greenpeace, and Act Up L.A., to name but a few.

O.W.L.S is an unashamedly “grunge” band based in England’s answer to 1990’s Seattle, Brighton. Well, it rains a lot. And there’s a lot of flannel around.
Taking their influence from TAD, Melvins, Alice In Chains and yes, we’re going to say the N word… Nirvana, the tunes are drenched in howling feedback, heartfelt pop sensibilities and an unwillingness to play traditional guitar solos.
It’s all about wanting to remember that these bands, far from being all about depression and drug related deaths, were actually about a fun little punk rock scene where everyone got together and threw themselves around to some great music. That’s what O.W.L.S would like to recreate.
They are:
Toby Macfarlaine (guitar and throat)
Mike Smith (bass and throat)
Joe Smith (drums and throat)

Their critically acclaimed The Rite Of Spring Ep was digitally released in April 2012 and for an hour or two was Number 1 in the Amazon Movers & Shakers chart. It was recorded by Bullet For My Valentine’s Michael “Padge” Paget in exchange for three American Hamburger Restaurant Breakfasts and a case of beer.
On Dec 9th a limited edition double A side of Hurt Janine and Vitamins is released on vinyl through In At The Eye Records.

Dig out your old Mudhoney tshirt, throw on a flannel shirt, go to a sweaty little venue and dance around like an idiot for a while.
