Sublime Announce New Album ‘When The Sun Explodes’, Their First In 30 Years
Sublime have announced the details of a new full-length album, their first since 1996 and first with Jakob Nowell on vocals.
‘Until The Sun Explodes’ will be released on June 12 via Atlantic Records, and serves as the follow-up to their 1996 Self-Titled record. It’s the first body of work to feature Jakob Nowell on vocals, son of original vocalist, the late Bradley Nowell.
The collection of songs serves as a tribute to his memory and incredible lasting legacy, as well as a statement of intent as they look to the future, further embodied in the newly released, beautifully sentimental title track. A bright and breezy piece of classic sun-stained Sublime goodness, it’s an honest and heartfelt return to the limelight for the band, being thankful for the past and grateful for the future.
Jakob had this to say about the release, explaining, “The last Sublime record that will ever be made is Self-Titled. There’s no replacing history, period. Until the Sun Explodes, the album is an epilogue, and ‘Until the Sun Explodes’, the single, is the epilogue to the epilogue. It is a tribute to the expansive works of Sublime, it is an acknowledgment for all that my father has done for me my entire life, and most importantly it is a thank you. I love you dad, and I owe you my life.”Whilst bassist Eric Wilson added, “This song is the title track of our new album, and it expresses the gratitude we all feel as well as our intent for the future of our band and the music we love! Until the Sun Explodes is our reality. Thank you for enjoying life with us!”

ALBUM REVIEW: Devil’s Cigarette – Meet Me On The Floor Tonight
There’s a nice gritty Garage Rock intensity to this one. It is in many ways the sound of a very young band finding their feet, and you know what? Sometimes that can be the magic. Coming in cold to the band it’s a record that has the edge of a debut yet of course is the follow up to the rather cool I Wanna Be On TV from 2024 (which i checked out afterwards).
Opener ‘Meet Me on the Floor Tonight is more than enough to grab your attention and ‘I’m bored’ flicks all the right Garage Rock, Stooges meets Strokes/Hives buttons but there’s something more here that’s worth diving deeper.
Even when you’re not sure where a track is headed they somehow managed to set it on fire, the opening of ‘Bright Red Eyes’ sounded a bit ubiquitous, but the song grows under the skin to become a bit of a monster. This is all rather addictive.
The best though might be yet to come, after the riff rock opening of ‘Dirty Fingers’ we get all wonderfully, majestically radio friendly and the meandering ‘A-A-A’ gets all emotionally charged and fierce around the edges. Sonically its all rather exciting and bursting with ideas rather than staying in the lane. There’s Husker Du, Bowie, Stooges, The Hives all fighting in the mix and whilst it might at times be conflicting that is very much the charm.
The ideas are great, the execution is full of energy and the very best thing is the freshness: ‘Radio Baby’ is a nice slice of Punky goodness, and whilst ‘This is a Hippy Killing Device’ may close one door sonically it cements the sound lyrically and musically. I love the almost MC5/Stonsey ‘Come on to Me’ and the flaming rock and roll of ‘Ordinary Man’ is just wonderfully incendiary rock and roll.
Interestingly the closing track ‘The Greyhound Race’ is the most traditional rock Song on here with notes of the 80’s U.K. Alternative Scene. It’s a tantalizing way to leave it hanging. Man I feel young again! How many albums can do that!
If you love the trailblazers – MC5, The Stooges, Velvet Underground and appreciate the latter days sounds of The Hives and The Strokes then grab a slab of modern, yet reverent, punk-infused rock ‘n’ roll. These guys are good. Very good. Probably gonna be huge…
8/10

Sparrowhawk – Sunflowers in the Moonlight
On its second full-length album, Minneapolis-based foursome Sparrowhawk continues on its mission to make super-awesome rock music. I’m not one to judge an album by its cover, but it would be hard to look at Lucas Gluesenkamp’s bad-ass cover art for Sunflowers in the Moonlight at not assume that the music would totally kick ass. Luckily, there’s no assumption necessary in the era of streaming. But even in digital times, some albums ought to be experienced on vinyl based on how they look and sound. This is one of them!Sparrowhawk is by no means the only indie/punk band embracing ’70s arena rock, but you won’t find anyone else doing it better. Following their excellent 2023 debut, Johnny Eggerman, Zach McCormick, Damien Tank, and Marty Mueller have doubled down on their love for classic rock. I was amused that the promotional email I received in the advance of the album release was sent by “Phil Lynott.” If Philo was going to come back from the dead to do some publicity work, it was certainly going to be for a record like this one. This is an arena-sized rock ‘n’ roll long player with a punk rock heart. On this release, the band has added a touch of Allman Brothers/Molly Hatchet influence and expanded its repertoire to include ballads and rustic folk rock. Your dad or granddad would love this record, and that’s not a knock. Sparrowhawk truly throws it back to a time when there was no shame in crafting a rock radio hit.Sunflowers in the Moonlight builds on the sound and style of its predecessor. It’s everything that was great about the last album and much more. The melodic rockers “Underneath the Moonlight,” “Still Talk About It Now,” and “Power and the Glory” will please anyone who loved the band’s debut. “Blackberry Brandy” is full-on Southern rock and totally freaking excellent. “Lonesome Operator” is a splendid power ballad in the proper sense of the term. “Down the Line” is giving Stones/Faces energy, and I’m sure not complaining. The title track is earnest Americana with all kinds of scrappy charm. And what other band would think to close an album with a Western-themed eleven-minute multipart finale? That’s pure genius!Of course Sunflowers in the Moonlight rocks hard. Those harmonized lead guitars remain front and center, and these tunes will have you air-drumming like a maniac in short order. But the Midwestern soul in this music should not be sold short. The album’s lyrics are heavy on storytelling and character sketches, so this is like listening to a record with the substance of a movie or short story collection. The band reunited with Andy Mathison, whose recording and mixing favors a sound that’s massive but never too slick. Imagine what a king you would be if you were walking around with the Sparrowhawk logo emblazoned on the back of your denim jacket. People would see you and immediately want to hear the band that had the vision to pick such an unfuckwithable name. And one guy would be like, “I heard those guys! They did that song ‘Take a Bow’!” And you’d be like, “Dude! Wait until you hear this new album!”How do you top a big, hooky rock record? You make an even bigger, hookier rock record! The vinyl, limited to 200 copies, was pressed in Minneapolis by Outta Wax and released on the Twin Cities’ own Piñata Records. In the process of bringing this album into existence, the band really showed some love to its own community. And that tells you a lot about Sparrowhawk. Grab a copy of this monster while you can! -
