===2013–present: Original lineup reunion=== On March 15, 2013, Veruca Salt announced the reunion of its original line-up ([[Nina Gordon]], [[Louise Post]], [[#Band members|Jim Shapiro]], and Steve Lack) with a message on the band's official Facebook page which read, "for now let's just say this: hatchets buried, axes exhumed." The band also mentioned that they might be open to adding material from their time apart into their sets at some point.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Culpan|first1=Troy|title=Louise Post of Veruca Salt|url=http://maytherockbewithyou.com/mtrbwy/2014/09/louise-post-of-veruca-salt/|website=maytherockbewithyou.com|date=September 19, 2014 |publisher=May The Rock Be With You|access-date=September 23, 2014}}</ref> The reunion marked the first time Shapiro would play drums since leaving the band in 1997. It had also been years since Lack played bass, with his time out of the band spent on overcoming drug and alcohol abuse and pursuing surfing.<ref name=Caro /> On September 29, 2013, the band announced via social media that they were working on new material. Their first release since reforming came in the form of a release for [[Record Store Day]] 2014. The band released a 10-inch vinyl EP, [[MMXIV (Veruca Salt)|MMXIV]], which contained two new songs, "It's Holy" and "The Museum of Broken Relationships", on one side and a 20th-anniversary re-release of "[[Seether (song)|Seether]]" on the other.
