Hardcore punk shouldn’t be polite and Venice Beach outfit XCOMM’s new single “Fake ID” proves exactly that. In a riotous statement that pays no mind to etiquette or decorum, the track and its accompanying music video truly kick in the doors and come out swinging. A short, sharp adrenaline shot about being underage, underestimated, and completely unwilling to wait your turn, “Fake ID“.
Written by frontman Michael Gatto after getting rejected from one too many shows for being under 21, “Fake ID” turns frustration into a snotty anthem with a beatdown core.
“Fake ID rips! It’s about getting rejected from shows for being under 21 when all you want to do is check out a band. The video shoot was amazing — it was so funny to walk around town dressed as grandmas for a day. I thought we looked great and I love how the video concludes with us walking into the ocean…”
“Fake ID” is the second single from XCOMM’s upcoming debut album Time To Burn, produced by Ross Robinson (Korn, The Cure, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive In) and coming soon via Blowed Out Records, the incubator-like brainchild of Robinson, Ghostemane, and Bill Armstrong. The record captures the full-bore chaos that’s already made XCOMM one of the most exciting and talked-about new bands in the realm of heavy music.
