Jennifer Finch, L7 Co-Founder and Grunge Icon, Dies at 59

Jennifer Finch, bassist and co-founder of the 90s feminist grunge band L7, died at 59 after an aggressive brain cancer diagnosis (she’d previously battled thyroid cancer). Bandmates mourned her fierce creativity and impact on music and politics; Finch helped form L7 in 1985 and played on their first four albums, including the hit “Pretend We’re Dead.” L7 had reunion tours and new material and planned a fall farewell tour without her, as peers paid tribute.
