Touchdown! *Welcome To Mars*
TOUCHDOWN! The re-entry module has landed, WELCOME TO MARS is out now!
After a year-long hiatus (on Mars?) Welcome To Mars is now available, the first in a collection of new songs that will drop throughout 2026 to form the band’s third album.
Recorded just days after being written, this song harnesses the energy and excitement of a sick new tune. Marty Powell says, “It speaks about the messed-up state of our planet and invites the listener to join us on Mars – Welcome to Mars did you bring your guitars cos we’re open all hours for you / There isn’t a war, there’s much to explore, the whole day’s up to you”
Riff Raiders exploded on the Melbourne scene with the anthemic single ‘Live Like You Mean It’ in 2017 and have released two albums, ‘Live Like You Mean It’ (2018) and Rock’n’Roll Daydream (2020). Playing well over 100 shows in that two-year period until being forced into the quarantine bay, the band built a solid following and earned a reputation for incredibly tight and powerful live performances.
