Jennifer Finch

L7's latest full album Scatter the Rats was released on Blackheart Records on May 3, 2019 to generally favorable reviews. Finch wrote the song "Garbage Truck". The band resumed a six-week national tour starting on May 10, 2019.

Finch appears in interviews and original footage throughout the documentary film L7: Pretend We're Dead, directed by Sarah Price and released in November 2016. The film was nominated for a VO5 NME Award for Best Music Film.

In 2014, L7 reformed with the primary line up of Finch with Suzi Gardner, Donita Sparks , and Dee Plakas. They toured extensively and released new singles in 2017 and 2018.

In January 2011, Finch co-founded new band Sex in Progress along with Evie Evil of Evil Beaver.

At the age of 13, Finch began to take photos of her friends in Los Angeles on a camera given to her by her father. These pictures eventually documented the early punk scene that she became involved in before joining L7 in 1986. Her photography (1979–1995) was on display at an LA Weekly sponsored art show at Aidan Ryley Taylor Gallery in Hollywood, until November 18, 2006. The collection, called "14 and Shooting" features a number of notable figures, including photographs of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Religion, Red Kross, and The Cramps. John Albert of LA Weekly reflected that Finch's images often depict the musicians in more intimate moments as well as providing a generally dark perspective of youth in Southern California. Finch's photographs traveled to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for display in January 2007.

Finch was also involved with Betty Blowtorch, appearing in the 2003 documentary film Betty Blowtorch And Her Amazing True Life Adventures.

Finch founded the punk rock group The Shocker in Los Angeles in 2002. The band played dates on the Warped Tour in 2003 and 2005. The Shocker released Up Your Ass Tray as an EP in 2003, followed by a full-length album in 2006 on Go-Kart Records. Finch served as the sole songwriter and primary singer of The Shocker through 2006.

In the early 90s, Finch dated Nirvana's Dave Grohl and later Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins. She was married to actor, musician and race car driver Chris Pedersen from 2000–2007. Finch resides in Culver City, California.

After departing from L7, Finch wrote music and sang for her band OtherStarPeople with Xander Smith. OtherStarPeople completed their debut record Diamonds In The Belly Of The Dog in 1998; the group were signed with A&M Records/Interscope and the album was released in August 1999. Joshua Clover of Spin magazine described the OtherStarPeople record as bringing "less weight and more strangeness than Finch's old crew - it's L.A.-slick and punky-dirty".

In 1994, Finch and her L7 bandmate Demetra "Dee" Plakas performed with Japanese musician Hide, also appearing in the original video for his song "Doubt".

In 1994, Finch was featured in a music video for Hole for their breakthrough album Live Through This, as the original bassist Kristen Pfaff had died of an over-dose in June of that year. In 1995, after the death of her father, Finch adopted the name "Precious" as an homage to him. Finch officially departed L7 in 1996, though the reasons are unclear.

In 1986, Finch joined the Los Angeles-based punk rock group L7, as the bass guitar player and additional vocalist. In the documentary film L7: Pretend We’re Dead, bandmate Donita Sparks described Finch as "persistent" and stated that after Finch joined the band, her networking skills and stage energy continued to significantly boost the momentum building within the group. She remained with L7 throughout the band's most successful period in the early 1990s. Finch contributed to the albums L7 (1988) Smell the Magic(1990), Bricks Are Heavy (1992), and Hungry for Stink (1994). Finch was the sole songwriter during this period for several of L7's songs including "(Right On) Thru", "Everglade", "One More Thing", and "Shirley".

Finch has acted in the 1984 film The Census Taker and in the 1994 John Waters film Serial Mom as part of the fictitious band the Camel Lips. Finch appeared as herself in the 2007 documentary Punk's Not Dead. Her music was featured in the 1999 film Office Space and on the popular TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation in 2008.

Finch began her musical career in the mid 1980s. She played bass in the San Francisco-based band Sugar Babydoll (or Sugar Babylon) from 1984 - 1986. The band featured Courtney Love, future founder of Hole, and future Babes in Toyland founder Kat Bjelland. This line-up produced a demo recording which remains unreleased. Finch subsequently played in the short-lived Hollywood band The Pandoras, formed by bassist Gwynne Kahn.
