7 Year Bitch are another grunge influenced Punk rock band in the vein of The Gits, whose career yielded 3 albums in a tumultuous few years which saw their close friend Mia Zapata of The Gits raped and murdered, their first guitarist Stefani Sargent overdose on heroine and the band's being dropped by Atlantic after their final album and first album for the label failed to sell as much as was expected.
As every strong female group in the early to mid ninties was, 7 Year Bitch are often wrongly associated with Riot Grrrl, but their sound is much more influenced by the bluesy, grunge sound of The Gits and their Seattle contemporaries.
Also, can anyone find out for me if the Gato Negro cover was drawn by Jaime Hewlett? It's very much in his style, and he did a few band's album covers during the '90s.
