<\/div>\n

L7<\/a> rock out in an angel dust hellscape in the video for their new song, \u201cBurn Baby,\u201d which will feature on their first record in two decades, Scatter the Rats<\/em>. The group will also release the song as the A-side to a seven inch on Record Store Day, April 13th. The song has a chugging, punky riff that recalls the group\u2019s Bricks Are Heavy<\/em> period, as frontwoman Donita Sparks sings about burning at the stake. The four women throw a gold record in a barrel full of fire and rock out in front of flames.<\/p>\n

Scatter the Rats<\/em> is the band\u2019s first full-length since they reunited in 2014. Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Norm Block (Jenny Lee, Paper Cranes) co-produced the album, which they recorded in Los Angeles. It will come out on Joan Jett\u2019s Blackheart Records on May 3rd. \u201cI\u2019ve been friends with L7 for years and am very excited and proud to have the opportunity to release their new album on Blackheart!\u201d Jett said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we decided to make a new record, Joan was there for us as the good friend she has always been,\u201d Sparks said. \u201cSo great to stomp into Blackheart Records with her at the helm. We\u2019re very excited to work with Joan and the entire Blackheart family. Just imagine the family dinners!\u201d<\/p>\n

The frontwoman added that the title came from something one of the producers said. \u201cThere were a couple of rats in the basement of the studio, where all the amplifiers were, and at one point Norm said to us, \u2018Let\u2019s get rockin\u2019, we can scatter the rats,’\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The group will be touring in support of the LP this spring alongside Rancid and Suicidal Tendencies. The dates are below the track list.<\/p>\n
