L7 Announce ‘Scatter The Rats,’ First LP In 20 Years
Grunge veterans L7 return with their first album in 20 years. The band recently announced their new album, Scatter the Rats, will be out May 3rd via Blackheart Records, the imprint founded by Joan Jett. This marks their first full-length album since they reunited in 2014.
“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!” Jett said in a statement.
“When we decided to make a new record, Joan was there for us as the good friend she has always been,” frontwoman Donita Sparks said. “So great to stomp into Blackheart Records with her at the helm. We’re very excited to work with Joan and the entire Blackheart family. Just imagine the family dinners!
To tease the LP, the band shared the opening track “Burn Baby,” along with its official music video directed by Courtney and Hillary Andjuar. Watch it below. The song will also be available as an exclusive 7-inch for Record Store Day on April 13th.
