¡Viva Zapata! is the second album by the American
punk band 7 Year Bitch. It was released June 28, 1994 on
Seattle-based
C/Z Records. It was their first record to feature new guitarist
Roisin Dunne who had replaced
Stefanie Sargent in 1992. The album's title is in tribute to
The Gits' vocalist, and friend of the group,
Mia Zapata, who was raped and strangled to death in July 1993. Some of the songs on this album relate to Zapata's murder directly (such as "M.I.A.", which encourages
vigilante justice for her killer) as well as Sargent's death by drug overdose ("Rock A Bye").
