“Wargasm” by L7

Donita Sparks wrote "Wargasm", and it arrived on April 14, 1992, as part of Bricks Are Heavy, L7's third album and the one that carried them out of the Sub Pop underground and onto Slash, a label that had just landed distribution through Warner Bros. Sparks, the band's frontwoman, has cast the move as the obvious next step rather than a grab for money: a chance to get the music to more people, especially the ones who felt alienated and alone.

L7 produced it with Butch Vig, who engineered and mixed the track too, with Steve Marker, Jeff Sheehan and Mr. Colson as additional engineers. Next to the band's earlier records, these sessions took a more polished, deliberate approach, and the racket lands with more precision for it.
