Gumm’s 2023 debut LP “Slogan Machine” was a mix of bands like Drug Church, Touché Amoré, and Revolution Summer, and the Chattanooga, TN band’s sophomore album “Beneath The Wheel” finds them blending those and other influences into something that feels even more original. Like the recent album by Gumm’s Convulse labelmates Destiny Bond, “Beneath The Wheel” makes the case that hardcore punk is alive and well.
This isn’t metalcore, this isn’t alt-rock; it’s the kind of punk rock that’s so gritty that people had to put a new adjective in front of it, and it’s a treat to hear a band carrying the torch for this kind of thing as well as Gumm are right now. On “Beneath the Wheel“, they’re taking familiar ingredients and making them sound very fresh.
