Scatter the Rats

L7

Crunchy guitar riffs and deadpan snarls mark a heavy, mid-tempo return. A record that trades youthful speed for a seasoned, sludge-heavy stomp.

Find on Amazon

It's the 90s back from the dead with heavier riffs and zero apologies.

A heavy, mid-tempo stomp that balances veteran grit with defiant, playful energy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The opening feedback swell of Burn Baby that immediately re-establishes their signature wall of sound.
The hypnotic, lurching bass line on the title track that drags the listener into a dark, swampy groove.
The bright, almost power-pop vocal harmonies on Stadium West clashing against the gritty guitar distortion.
