L7 Release First New Music In 18 Years 'Dispatch from Mar-a-Lago' via Don Giovanni

Legendary pioneers of American grunge punk, L7 have released their electrifying onslaught of a new single "Dispatch from Mar-a-Lago" on Don Giovanni Records today. The track is the result of Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner's first writing collaboration in 18 years. A raucous, bombastic party rock anthem for the sinking Titanic, it is a sardonic yet joyous middle finger of a track that sits somewhere between "Anarchy in the U.K." and "Springtime for Hitler".

"We knew we wanted to make some new L7 music, but also didn't want the pressure or expectation of that First Track weightiness so we went for pure fun and absurdity." explains Sparks. "The lyrical musicality of the word Mar-a-Lago just lent itself to an inspired song of these crazy assed times".
