Hungry for Stink by L7
Hungry for Stink is an album by L7, released in 1994. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Andres”, on 6 lists with a best position of #64.
Hungry for Stink, L7's fourth album, came out on Slash in July 1994, and it finds the Los Angeles four-piece digging deeper into the sludge after Bricks Are Heavy. Garth Richardson produced, with Donita Sparks on lead vocals and guitar, Suzi Gardner on guitar and backing vocals, Jennifer Finch on bass and Dee Plakas on drums.
The guitars are thick and grimy, the tempos lurch and stomp, and Sparks sneers her way through it like she's daring you to flinch. "Andres" was the one the countdowns grabbed hold of, while "Fuel My Fire", built on the Cosmic Psychos' "Lost Cause", got a second life when the Prodigy covered it on The Fat of the Land. The title, The Independent reported, came from an ad the band spotted in Bear Magazine, a gay publication. It peaked at number 117 on the Billboard 200.
