For those who just can't resist the sugary allure of The Donnas' brand of bubblegum party rock with sweet, sweet Frehleyesque licks (and always disappointingly flat vocals); today's news is for you. Billboard is reporting that the Los Angeles-based rockers are preparing to release their as-yet-untitled seventh album in September.

The Donnas "parted ways" with major label Atlantic last year and will now be releasing the new album and future releases through their own imprint in a deal with indie distributor Redeye. This new deal appears to be very lucrative for Donna A, C, F & R.

Song-wise, Bassist Maya Ford tells Billboard that fans shouldn't expect the band to break any new ground on the forthcoming LP.

Incidentally, The band's top friend on their Myspace is Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer.

Further evidence of the band's linear move can be heard on the album's Joan Jett/Gary Glitter-biting first single, "Don't Wait Up For Me". Though the song sports snappier pop-metal production (check out that ridiculous canned applause), the band's party mantra and riffs-o-plenty are firmly intact (sample lyrics:"I've got one shot/ and the night is young/so don't wait up for me"). The single went up for sale exclusively at the band's Myspace this past spring.

After the new album's release, the band plan to tour extensively beginning in the fall. L.A. fans, however, will be able to catch The Donnas in live action much sooner when the band plays a one-off June 30th show with L7's Donita Sparks at Hollywood's Safari Sam's.
