MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer is preparing a new Bob Ezrin-produced album from the band for a spring 2024 release.

Heavy Lifting, the first new album from the Detroit garage punk legends since 1971's High Time,  will feature guest appearances from Slash, Tom Morello, Living Colour's Vernon Reid, Alice In Chains frontman William DuVall and more.

"Some bands need a little time between records," Kramer tells MOJO magazine. "I needed a lot of time between records!"
