UltraBomb are an international supergroup that features three iconic musicians from the cream of punk rock. On bass is the legend that is Greg Norton, once the driving force behind one of the most influential bands to emerge from the American punk scene, Hüsker Dü. Next up is the indefatigable singer-guitarist Finny McConnell, a name you’ll recognise from thirty years as the frontman of the Canadian Irish folk-punk sensation The Mahones. Completing the trio is the drumming powerhouse Jamie Oliver, having served well over fifteen years in the seminal British punk band UK Subs, as well as shorter stints with the likes of SNFU among others.
UltraBomb formed in July 2021, and just two months later they travelled from their respective homes in the US, Canada and the UK to record their killer debut album, Time To Burn, in Berlin, Germany. With a DIY ethic and a love of classic punk, the band wrote and recorded the ten track album in just four days. Time To Burn is being released in North America via DC-Jam Records and UltraBomb are ready to get on the road again with a run of shows North America next month.
The tour will take UltraBomb through the Midwest, Southwest, and West Coast in May 2023 supported by The Barstool Preachers. The tour will showcase the band’s incredible energy and punk rock spirit, including an appearance at the prestigious Punk Rock Bowling festival in Las Vegas.
