L7’s ‘Bricks Are Heavy’ was released 30 years ago today, and the grunge pioneers have just announced a remastered reissue and a tour where they’ll play the album in full for the first time. A limited-edition gold vinyl run will be released too.
“After all these years, we began thinking it is strange that we have never received a proper accounting of actual sales to date for this record,” Donita Sparks says. “We were so close to Certified Gold 30 years ago, surely we have crossed the line by now… So we thought to hell with it, we are declaring ourselves Gold and making our own gold records. Get ‘em while they are hot.”
The reissue’s out 9/30 and you can find tour dates below.
