Donita Sparks co-founded the heavy riff-oriented band L7 in 1985. L7 released six studio albums, one live CD, and one greatest hits record. Their 1992 release Bricks Are Heavy was included in Rolling Stone’s list of “Essential Albums of the 1990s”.
"With their recording career beginning in 1987 and continuing through the ‘90s, L7 spawned underground and mainstream hits such as: Shove, Pretend We’re Dead, Shitlist, Andres, and Fuel My Fire. Touring the world countless times, L7 also graced the main-stage of Lollapalooza in 1994 and appeared in the John Waters movie Serial Mom as the band Camel Lips. In 1991, Donita and L7 formed Rock For Choice with the Feminist Majority Foundation, which staged numerous concerts benefiting pro-choice organizations."
