Alex (Silver Snakes)

SPB: Who was your favorite band that you discovered on your last tour?

Alex: My favorite band I discovered on our last tour is Third Seven. We were playing our last show with HRVRD at The Launchpad in Albuquerque, NM and I was captivated by the music playing over the PA after sound check. Layers of cello, rhythmic and haunting vocals, all the things I love. I asked the sound guy about it and he pulled out a burned cd that said "Cascadia"--turns out it was the title of the release. I did some research and found out it was a one man band under the name Third Seven. I bought the record online and marked my calendar for Oct 9th, the day he was playing a bar in Los Angeles. He put on an incredible show and he actually knew about our band! I'm hoping to play shows with him in the future.

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
