Julian (Drunken Sailor Records)

SPB: What do you think of bands playing albums in their entirety as a tour concept?

Julian: I'm not really into it, it seems it's the thing to do when everybody is sick of seeing you and you need gigs. When I watch a band I don't even want to know the set list, nevermind knowing weeks in advance what the songs will be and in what order. Where's the excitement in that? You know when you hear the start of one of your favourite songs by a band, it takes that all away.

Although I once saw Off With Their Heads do Hospitals, start to finish, upstairs in a club in Chicago and it was amazing. And if the Discharge line-up that recorded Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing were to reform and play that album, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

One Question Interviews • March 2, 2026

Greg Norton (Ultrabomb) SPB: Has the current political climate affected Ultrabomb and did it influence lyrical content? Norton: Yes, absolutely. I’d say 80% of the lyrics for this album were written last summer as Trump was rolling out his gestapo squads, and the media’s lack of response to accurately reporting.  Read more
