L7 have released their new single Cooler Than Mars alongside an official video ahead of their upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand. The track, available both digitally and as a limited edition 1000-run flexi disc, features the legendary rockers’ singular brand of socio-political commentary and humour. It tackles the seemingly never-ending disastrous weather events throughout the world and calls for leadership, focus and action.
Donita Sparks shares, “The song was inspired by the ongoing catastrophic news of climate change, and the strange passions of billionaire space cowboys to explore and exploit the outer limits of our stratosphere. Seems to me such obsessions and resources should be totally focused on healing The Big Blue Marble. I feel like there is nothing “out there” that is as mind-blowing as the biodiversity of what we have here on Earth. Because we’re cooler than Mars, damnit.”
