Inner Terrestrials - Eco War

I'd recently been listening to Inner Terrestrials 2012 album Tales of Terror a couple of weeks back and was going to share Run Tings but on further investigation saw a new album had been released that day!

Inner Terrestrials formed in South London back in 1994 who are known all over the world. They've been wowing audiences for 27 years with their fusion of "dub, punk, ska, folk and general anarchic danceability." They line up with founder members Jay Terrestrial (vocals/guitar) and Fran Webber (vocals/bass) plus drummer Ben Swan.

Titled Heart Of The Free, it's 11 tracks of socially aware, genre hopping music which is passionate but also thoughtful.

This track tells us how 50,000 acres of rain forest is lost every day and that 60% of all wild animals have disappeared during the last 40 years. It mentions how the oceans are a dumping ground for the effluent of consumerism and how contamination by man made chemicals affects every marine organism. Fossil fuel pollution and mass farming are destroying the planet but is there anything we can do, especially when big business does it's best to shut down solutions?
