Spinnerette has set June 23rd as the release date for their much-anticipated debut album. The self-titled Spinnerette album will be released on Anthem/RED and includes 13 new songs written by Brody Dalle & produced by Alain Johannes & is the first Brody Dalle helmed full-length release since The Distiller’s 2003 Coral Fang album.
Brody Dalle fans got their first taste of Spinnerette with the December release of the band’s Ghetto Love EP & the Liam Lynch directed video for the title track. The EP is the tease for what Brody Dalle devotees can expect on Spinnerette’s powerful debut album and is currently available on iTunes.
Brody appears on the new May issue of Inked Magazine, where pretty much they tell you every highlight of the “Inked” goddess. She also answered some Qs for Welikeit.indie & from her replies, we can surely see that her strong personality still pierces through, not only through her music but through her words.

Back in February, Spinnerette released a special Valentines Day Sex Bomb package directly to fans that included the original version of the previously unreleased track “Sex Bomb” along with the remix by UK electronic/breakbeat artist Adam Freeland on sexed up hot pink 7″ vinyl & the stems for fans to remix their own. The remix quickly became NME’s #1 Essential Track of the Week. A newly recorded version of “Sex Bomb” will be included on the forthcoming album.
