Toen Jakob Armstrong – de jongste zoon van Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) – vrienden had ontmoet met gelijkgestemde muzieksmaken, vormden zij samen Ultra Q.

Na de succesvolle EP Get Yourself A Friend (2021) brengen ze vandaag het nummer I Watched Them Go  uit. Het is hun eerste popsong en over het nummer zegt Armstrong: “I Watched Them Go is Ultra Q’s first pop song. At the same time though I think that it represents everything that UQ is supposed to be. It’s catchy, it’s outrageous, it’s beautiful, but it lands just enough in left field to be unexpected for our fans. We think this is the perfect single  because while it’s definitely extreme, it’ll find a home in our fans. Both old and new.”
