Grunge veterans L7 have announced some new music, revealing plans for their first new album in 20 years.

Back in the ’90s, it was hard to escape the influence of L7. Formed through the partnership of Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, the group released six records throughout their initial lifespan, going on to become one of the most highly-regarded grunge acts of the era.

While albums such as Bricks Are Heavy and Hungry for Stink are these days considered classics, the group were also involved in an interesting Australian connection along the way.

Having become friends with Aussie icons Cosmic Psychos, the band inadvertently based their song ‘Fuel My Fire’ on the Psychos’ ‘Lost Cause’. As a result, when The Prodigy covered the former in 1997, the Melbourne rockers scored a rather unlikely writing credit in the process.

Sadly, L7 broke up back in 2001, but in 2014, they announced their long-awaited return. Having played shows around the world since then, the band released a handful of standalone singles as well, before revealing last year they were crowdfunding the release of their new album.

“We’ve had such a blast hanging out, writing, and recording with each other again that we decided to keep the ball rolling,” the band explained at the time.

“More song ideas have been flowing out of us every time we get together and play, so we’ve decided to make a full-length album which we will record this year.”

Now, almost a full year later, L7 have revealed that their first record since 1999’s Slap Happy will be released this May.

Titled Scatter The Rats, the new album is set to be released via longtime friend Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records.

“When we decided to make a new record, Joan was there for us as the good friend she has always been,” the group explained in a press release. “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 celebrate this new record, L7 have also released new single ‘Burn Baby’, which you can hear below.
