L7 have shared a new single, Cooler Than Mars.

A plea for climate change action, the playful track deals in the '90s alt-rock legends' familiar riff-driven punk energy, offering scuzzy distorted guitars and socio-political lyrics. Bandleader Donita Sparks commented:

"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."

The song arrives as the band embark on their US In Your Space Tour, which includes an appearance at Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky. They also have Australian and New Zealand shows scheduled for December.

L7 split back in 2001, but reunited their classic line-up four years later. In 2019, they put out their 'Scatter The Rats' LP, their first full-length release in 20 years.
