"Andres" was the single L7 pulled from Hungry for Stink, their fourth album, released on Slash in 1994. Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner wrote it, Garth Richardson co-produced and recorded it with Joe Barresi, and Michael Barbiero mixed.
It's grunge with a guilty conscience: it's L7 saying sorry to Andres, a pal of theirs who got burned by somebody the band had brought into his life. Few bands have ever apologized this loudly. Years later, in October 2009, it resurfaced as a download in the Rock Band store.
