Dogmatic

Having been good friends with one of the gals from L7 for many, many years - I kinda had an inside look at all the happenings behind the scene. Whilst it was a good position to be in, I was deeply saddened when such an amazing band called it a day. There was no official word that the gals had all but split, but for the past 7 years or so, activity in the L7 camp has been null and void. Until now.

Whilst we haven’t been graced with an L7 reunion, lead crooner Donita Sparks and drummer Dee Plakas have put together ‘Donita Sparks & The Stellar Moments’ and the album ‘Transmiticate’. If you were ever a fan of L7, then this one’s for you.

Whilst not as grimey and dirty as L7, ‘Transmiticate’ borrows heavily from the band’s catchier moments. The end result is a post-punk-poppier platter that just oozes with groove, attitude, melodic, catchiness and a veritable feast of great songs! Track after track the album is brimming with greatness. I haven’t stopped listening to this one for a while and I still can’t decide which is my fave tune… there are a few!
