Chattanooga, TN hardcore upstarts, Gumm, recently announced their sophomore full-length, Beneath The Wheel, due out October 31st via Convulse Records, and today they're back with another ferocious new single, "All Gone."

Gumm's adventurous strain of hardcore is fueled by inventive riffs, a truly pummeling rhythm section, and vocalist Drew Waldon's throat-shredding roar, all of which have been dialed even further into the red on Beneath The Wheel. "All Gone" follows lead single, "New From The Pain" (which was named one of Stereogum's Best New Songs of The Week) and shows off Gumm's ability to merge hardcore stomp with real rock & roll swagger. The band's biting riffs somehow effortlessly connect with cowbell and handclaps for one of the most uniquely satisfying punk songs you'll hear this year. 

 

Gumm emerged from the Tennessee underground in 2023 with their debut album, Slogan Machine, drawing attention from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Exclaim, and more. Now Beneath The Wheel further refines their unique take on hardcore. Recorded by Tate Mercer (Dying Wish, Chamber), the album is equal parts eye-bulging aggression, sonic imagination, and open-hearted lyricism. "...really digging and uprooting your self-sabotaging impulse sometimes requires much more than just love and support,” he says. “It requires blood and sweat and tears. There’s hard work to be done.” Waldon explores the noise inside his head with the same defiant attack as the noise Gumm ratchets up across Beneath The Wheel, making for an album that's as human as it is hard-hitting.
