The undisputed kings of Southern California skate-punk and sun-soaked ska are back to take us right back to where it all started with a brand-new, celebratory visual drop! The legendary Sublime have officially unleashed the music video for “F.T.R.”, a standout track from their landmark 2026 comeback record, Until the Sun Explodes.

• The Anatomy of a Backyard Reunion: Filmed around an authentic Fourth of July gathering, the video for “F.T.R.” transports the band straight back to the environments most closely associated with their early history: a quintessential Southern California backyard party. Surrounded by friends, family, a smoking barbecue, and a sparkling pool while performing outdoors, the visual recreates the loose, informal, high-energy setting where Sublime first cut their teeth. As drummer Bud Gaugh noted, the backyard setting is a true-to-life representation of where the band’s journey began.
• A New Era with Deep Roots: Released on June 12, 2026, via Atlantic Records, Until the Sun Explodes marked Sublime’s first new full-length studio album in three decades. It features Jakob Nowell—son of late, iconic frontman Bradley Nowell—fronting the group alongside founding members Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums), bridging generations of musical history. Track eight on the record, “F.T.R.,” follows a massive wave of chart dominance that saw the title track hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart for three consecutive weeks, hot on the heels of their 2025 smash single “Ensenada.” The career-affirming album also boasts star-studded collaborations with punk and reggae royalty like H.R. of Bad Brains, G. Love, FIDLAR, Skegss, and Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise.

The MusicWayATX Verdict: “F.T.R.” is a joyful, full-circle celebration. Sublime prove that the spirit of the SoCal backyard party is entirely timeless, especially when the original rhythm section and the next generation are steering the ship.
