Sugar- the iconic alternative rock trio led by Bob Mould alongside bassist David Barbe and drummer  Malcolm Travis – announce today a second brand new single, following the bombshell news of the band’s return last year, as well as news of the Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour following the quickfire sell-out of the band’s forthcoming New York and London residencies.

“Long Live Love” follows October’s widely acclaimed “House of Dead Memories” single and comes densely layered with grinding guitar riffs, resplendent synth textures, and Mould’s impassioned vocals. First penned by Mould in the mid 2000s, it could almost be a lost gem from an alternative future where the trio carried on recording beyond their 1994 swansong File Under: Easy Listening: its lush electronic edge bringing to mind Mould’s DJ work while sharing similar DNA with the production nous of Garbage’s Butch Vig, a key influence on Mould at the time.

Of the single, Mould offers: “I wrote ‘Long Live Love’ in 2007 while living in Washington DC. It was the George W. Bush era, I was deep in my DJ world with Blowoff, yet still writing pop songs on guitars. Garbage 2.0 is one of my desert island albums, so it’s not surprising that ‘Long Live Love’ reminds me of a long lost Garbage song!”

The single comes accompanied by a punchy new visual, created and directed by Lee Gregory of  ILoveMotion. “Long Live Love” will be released alongside “House of Dead Memories” on 7″ black vinyl on May 1st via BMG; pre-orders are available now.
