The next MC5 album – and now the band’s final foray in the wake of founding guitarist Wayne Kramer's passing – is nearly complete, with a hoped-for release later this year.
Kramer announced Heavy Lifting, the first MC5 album since High Time in 1971, during March of 2022, shortly before he took another incarnation of the famed Detroit proto-punk band on the road. The new album's title track made the setlist, which otherwise comprised of songs from the band's three original albums.
