Motor City punk rock pioneers MC5 have released a visualizer for their brand new single "Boys Who Play With Matches".
This is the lead track from the MC5 first new album in 53 years, "Heavy Lifiting", that will be hitting stores on October 18 through earMUSIC ahead of their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction.

"Heavy Lifiting" features guitar and vocals by founding MC5 member Wayne Kramer, who also co-wrote 12 of the album's 13 songs together with Oakland singer/songwriter Brad Brooks.
