{"product_id":"l7-smell-the-magic","title":"SMELL THE MAGIC","description":"L7: Suzi Gardner, Donita Sparks (guitar, vocals); Jennifer Finch (bass, vocals); Dee Plakas (drums).\nEngineers: Jack Endino, Michael James, Daniel Rey.\nRecorded at Reciprocal Recording, Seattle, Washington; Radio Tokyo, Venice, California; Paramount Studios, Hollywood, California.\nPersonnel: Donita Sparks, Suzi Gardner (vocals, guitar); Jennifer Finch (vocals); Demetra \"Dee\" Plakas (drums).\nRecording information: Paramount Studios, Hollywood, CA; Radio Tokyo, Venice, CA; Reciprocal Recording, Seattle, WA.\nPhotographers: Charles Peterson ; Howard Rosenberg.\nThe fitting middle ground between L7's punky self-titled debut on Epitaph and its thunderous initial outing for Slash\/Reprise, 1991's SMELL THE MAGIC finds the Los Angeles-based band fortunately situated at the Sub Pop label just in time for the grunge explosion. On this short, swift nine-track album, the women of L7 gleefully mix metal, punk, and classic rock, resulting in a sound that fiercely updates the Runaways' bold take on rock \u0026amp; roll and reveals a kinship to unrefined label-mates such as Mudhoney and Tad. Gender issues are addressed with the charming subtlety of a sledgehammer on the hard-charging tunes \"Broomstick\" and \"Packin' a Rod,\" but the record's true highlights come from the one-two punch of the raucous shout-along \"Shove\" and the revved-up \"Fast and Frightening.\" Armed with barnstorming three-chord riffs and plenty of attitude, L7 stakes out its turf on SMELL THE MAGIC, impressively laying the groundwork for its mainstream breakthrough, BRICKS ARE HEAVY.","brand":"L7","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588657344745,"sku":"30KWW1-TXOE-00","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/l7-smell-the-magic_zsqVF.jpg?v=1759196124","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/l7-smell-the-magic","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
