Originally released on the band's 1992 album \u003cem\u003eBricks Are Heavy\u003c\/em\u003e, the track became an alternative-rock classic thanks to its instantly memorable riff, infectious chorus and sarcastic, confrontational edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Shitlist\" follows with a much more aggressive punk-rock attack, its relentless guitars and shouted vocals demonstrating the harder side of L7's sound. Together, the two A-side tracks perfectly capture the band's ability to move between catchy alternative rock and uncompromising punk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-side features \"Lopsided Head\" and \"Mr. Integrity\", offering further examples of L7's abrasive guitar sound and irreverent songwriting. The combination of the band's raw musical approach and outspoken attitude helped establish L7 as an important force within the early-1990s alternative scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in Los Angeles in 1985, L7 became closely associated with the grunge, punk and riot grrrl movements, although their sound never fitted neatly into a single category. Their uncompromising approach, energetic live performances and feminist attitude helped make them one of the most distinctive alternative bands of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture disc format adds extra appeal for collectors, making this a particularly eye-catching piece of L7 memorabilia as well as a great selection of tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans and collectors of L7, Pretend We're Dead, grunge, alternative rock, punk rock, riot grrrl and 1990s picture discs, this is an essential addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePretend We're Dead – 3:59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShitlist – 2:59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLopsided Head – 2:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Integrity – 4:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NAdlZ2F-fs8?si=-Djm07lnvMesmaiu\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slash Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55059058426198,"sku":"LASHX 34","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ecbd6776-0720-4508-9000-e70da75fdd71.jpg?v=1787327273","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/l7-pretend-were-dead","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
