“After a pair of LPs over the past four years, Utrabomb is back …a swift blow to the sternum that harnesses both the speedy energy of Norton’s early Minneapolis days and the ragged hard-rock sensibility of Twin Tone-era Soul Asylum.” – Magnet

Minneapolis, MN — Punk rock power trio ULTRABOMB return with their explosive new single “Look Forward In Anger,” arriving February 13, 2026 on all streaming platforms.

Fueled by urgency and sharp, melodic energy, “Look Forward In Anger” captures Ultrabomb turning shared frustrations into connection, purpose, and positive movement. Bassist and vocalist Greg Norton adds:

“‘Look Forward In Anger’ is a commentary on how partisan politics push to divide us, when we should all be coming together. Love over BS, any day.”

The new single follows recent releases “Artificial Stars” and “Checked Out,” which introduced fans to the band’s latest era and earned strong critical praise. MAGNET described Ultrabomb’s sound as “a swift blow to the sternum,” highlighting the band’s ability to merge classic punk intensity with a modern edge.

ULTRABOMB is comprised of punk and alternative rock veterans:

  • Greg Norton (Hüsker Dü) — bass, vocals
  • Derek O’Brien (Social Distortion / Agent Orange / Adolescents) — drums, vocals
  • Ryan Smith (Soul Asylum) — guitar, vocals

Together, the trio bring decades of punk history into the present — creating music that’s fast, fearless, and forward-looking rather than rooted in nostalgia.

The Bridges That We Burn was recorded at Creation Audio in Minneapolis and produced, engineered, and mixed by John Fields, with mastering by Justin Perkins (Mystery Room Mastering). The album expands Ultrabomb’s sonic range while maintaining the stripped-down, high-impact energy that defines the band.
