Legendary American grunge pioneers L7 have signed with Joan Jett‘s Blackheart Records for their first album in 20 years, ‘Scatter The Rats’, due out May 3.
“I’ve been friends with L7 for years and am very excited and proud to have the opportunity to release their new album on Blackheart!” shares Jett.
Opening the album with a galvanizing reflection on letting go of old grudges for the sake of fighting a greater evil, the band has unleashed a blazing new video by Blue Hats Creative for lead single ‘Burn Baby’ directed by Courtney and Hillary Andujar. The new track sees the band tight as ever, delivering their ferocious energy through a wall of rage. ‘Burn Baby’ will be available on a special Record Store Day seven-inch single with b-side “Fighting The Crave”.
Working with producers Norm Block (JENNY LEE, PAPER CRANES, PLEXI) and Nick Launay (NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, YEAH YEAH YEAHS), L7 recorded ‘Scatter The Rats’ at Happy Ending Studios and Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, instilling each track with a kinetic vitality.
