SUGAR are fully back in the game, and they’re not easing into it. The alt-rock trio—Bob Mould, David Barbe, and Malcolm Travis—have dropped a second comeback single, “Long Live Love,” and it hits with the kind of widescreen punch that made them legends in the first place.
Following the explosive return track “House of Dead Memories,” the new single blends grinding guitars, glossy synth layers, and Mould’s unmistakably urgent vocals. Written back in 2007 during his Washington, D.C. years, the song feels like a time capsule from an alternate timeline where SUGAR never stopped. Its electronic sheen nods to Mould’s DJ era and the influence of Garbage’s Butch Vig—Mould even calls it a “long lost Garbage song.” A bold new visual directed by Lee Gregory of ILoveMotion cranks the energy higher.
“Long Live Love” lands May 1 on 7” vinyl via BMG, paired with “House of Dead Memories.” Meanwhile, demand for SUGAR’s return has exploded, with NYC and London dates gone in a flash and a massive Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour now set across Europe and North America.
Decades later, the volume—and the love—haven’t faded.
