Punk Rock power trio Ultrabomb releases new single ‘Checked Out’

Punk Rock power trio Ultrabomb releases new single ‘Checked Out’
Salad Days

New LP ‘The Bridges That We Burn’ arrives April 3, 2026. Band consists of Greg Norton (Hüsker Dü), Derek O’Brien (Social Distortion, Agent Orange, Adolescents) and Ryan Smith (Soul Asylum).

Minneapolis, MN — They return with their new single available now on all streaming platforms. The track follows the band’s recent track ‘Artificial Stars’ the first preview of their upcoming full-length album, due out April 3, 2026 via DC-Jam Records. Song captures band’s raw, road-hardened energy — fast, loud, and unapologetically direct — while reflecting on burnout, transition, and the moments when survival means letting go and moving forward. Bassist and vocalist Greg Norton explains:

“track was inspired by life on the road, but there are many things we check out of. Sometimes in life you just need to move on.”

The new single builds on the momentum of ‘Artificial Stars’ which drew widespread praise for its urgent, classic-meets-modern punk approach. Highlighting Ultrabomb’s ability to fuse Minneapolis hardcore roots with ragged, melodic grit. Together, the trio channel decades of punk history into music that remains immediate, confrontational, and vital — not nostalgia, but forward motion fueled by experience. Set for release on April 3, 2026, LP 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 reach while preserving the stripped-down urgency that defines their sound.
