Starr said, “Thank you, Thank you, Thank YOU, Alt-Radio, for your amazing support of MUMFORD & SONS and Glassnote. Personally, this moment marks my first #1 ALT single since I became Head of Promotion at the label in 2021, and it means even more to me as I mourn the loss of my father this month, as well as our mutual friend, Fred Shade. It felt like the entire format was rooting for the band, and for us, to get this…..I’m very humbly grateful. Get ready for the MUMFORD & SONS’ North American headline tour starting in June!”

Jakob Nowell said, “Sublime is and always has been a family first and foremost. The loss of my father was a devastating event to many and was only outweighed by the outpouring of love from the numerous musicians who’s lives and craft were affected by the work of Sublime. All the love that we collectively have found along this crazy journey is spelled out on every track of this tribute record.”
