“The MC5 represents a kind of uncompromising vision of the future and that is eternal…the flame keeps burning on.” – Wayne Kramer
‘Heavy Lifting’ is the new studio album by Detroit’s punk rock pioneers, MC5.
Led by MC5 founding member Wayne Kramer and produced by the iconic Bob Ezrin, ‘Heavy Lifting’ signifies a momentous occasion – the release of new MC5 music, a staggering 53 years since their last album in 1971.
The music community recently mourned the loss of MC5 founding member Wayne Kramer and Dennis 'Machine Gun' Thompson, the last members of the original MC5 lineup, accompanied by messages of love from the world’s greatest rock stars.
MC5's enduring influence and cultural significance are solidified by their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024.
‘Heavy Lifting’ features an all-star lineup of guest musicians including Slash, Tom Morello, William Duvall (Alice in Chains), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Tim McIlrath (Rise Against), and many more.
Format Bonus CD & LP: Disc 2 / LP 2 contains previously unreleased live recordings from the MC50 tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of ‘Kick Out The Jams’.

Brothers Wayne and Dennis and loads of special guests on the last battle cry from the MC5. This is a recording made by your grandfathers that rocks harder than any 20-year-old TV talent contest product!
Go on, tell me I’m wrong.
My only beef is that Bob Ezrin (and Don Was) really should’ve dialed back the production, going for more grit like Love It To Death and less bombast like Berlin.
