This 1994 Rolling Stone profile, republished from the magazine's 11 August 1994 issue, catches up with all-female punk band L7 – vocalist Donita Sparks, bassist Jennifer Finch, guitarist Suzi Gardner and drummer Dee Plakas – over a lavish seafood lunch in Santa Monica as they promote their major-label album Hungry for Stink. The piece explores how the band, though emerging alongside grunge and the riot grrrl movement, root their identity firmly in old-school punk acts like the Ramones, Sex Pistols and X, and resist being pigeonholed by gender.

The article details the band's fierce group loyalty – they refuse solo interviews or photoshoots and insist on being treated as a collective – alongside anecdotes such as Sparks's infamous tampon-throwing stunt at the 1992 Reading Festival and their tongue-in-cheek insistence on lobster dinners at label meetings. It also touches on the track "Shirley", inspired by drag racer Shirley Muldowney, and the band's frustration at being framed through a "women in rock" lens rather than judged on their music alone, as Finch argues happens with male-fronted acts.
