Break Up Your Band

A blog about cataloguing and dissecting the best music of the 1990s (mostly). John Frusciante is a writer/performer living in NYC. His writing about music and comedy has appeared on AmplifierMagazine.com, The Onion News Network, Cracked.com, etc. He can frequently be seen at the UCB Theatre, where he is the Artistic Associate. He has the same name as--but is not the same person as--the guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

He is also a contributor to supercoolmusicvideos.tumblr.com

L7 - “Pretend We’re Dead”
Bricks Are Heavy, 1992

The success of Nirvana’s Nevermind opened the door for L7’s Butch Vig-produced third album to reach mainstream popularity on the strength of this single. If they’d only closed the door behind them, maybe we’d have no Seven Mary Three and their inbred cousins Nickelback.
