Minneapolis, MN — Punk rock power trio Ultrabomb have released their new single “Artificial Stars.” The track marks the first release from their forthcoming full-length album The Bridges That We Burn, arriving April 3, 2026 via DC-Jam Records/Virgin Music Group.

“Artificial Stars” delivers Ultrabomb’s signature blend of urgency, melody, and grit — drawing on decades of lived punk experience while confronting themes of isolation, endurance, and the drive to keep reaching forward even in uncertain times.

Greg Norton explains:

“Sitting in our bunkers, we only have artificial stars to look at. We are all scarred, but we keep reaching for those stars.”
