7 Year Bitch was a punk rock band from Seattle, active between 1990 and 1997. The band was formed in 1990 by vocalist Selene Vigil, guitarist Stefanie Sargent, bassist Elizabeth Davis and drummer Valerie Agnew. They were part of the riot grrrl sub-genre which emphasized feminism and politics in punk music. The band was deeply impacted by the deaths of their guitarist Stefanie Sargent and close friend Mia Zapata, of fellow Seattle punk band The Gits. The band recorded and released their second album “¡Viva Zapata!” in tribute to both of their fallen friends. Valerie Agnew also became the primary instigator and co-founder of the anti-violence and self-defense organization Home Alive.
