Friday, February 27th, 2026 – Following a landmark start to 2026 that saw them support the Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, earn a place on the prestigious NME 100 of 2026, rack up over 2.5 million views across all platforms on their music video for “Fake ID,” and surge to nearly 50,000 Instagram followers in a matter of weeks, Venice hardcore unit XCOMM return today with their new single “Hot Pursuit / One And Nothing.”
Watch the video HERE and stream the track HERE Released via Blowed Out Records – the incubator-like brainchild of Ross Robinson, Ghostemane, and Bill Armstrong and produced by Ross Robinson (Korn, The Cure, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive In), the track captures the remarkable spectrum of what XCOMM are capable of. “Hot Pursuit” is fast, confrontational and unrelenting and moves with razor-sharp urgency before folding into the darker, almost ethereal tension of “One And Nothing.” The result is the sound of a young band showcasing their exceptional range without any compromise or softening their edges. Speaking on today’s release, frontman Michael Gatto shares “Hot Pursuit is about everyday frustrations and the way we put energy and purpose to combat those frustrations, I remember this one was written at our second ever rehearsal. “One And Nothing”, on the other hand, is about moments of clarity and realizations that you do have control over your surroundings and the way things play out.” WATCH: Official music video for XCOMM’s “Hot Pursuit / One And Nothing” BELOW 
With their debut album on the horizon and a rapidly stacking list of live shows, festivals and momentum that shows absolutely no sign of slowing, XCOMM are poised to be THE breakout band of 2026. —————— ABOUT XCOMM
XCOMM are a ferocious hardcore punk band from Venice Beach, fusing old-school intensity with a modern sense of chaos and clarity. Formed in 2023, the band features frontman Michael Gatto, guitarist Jay Vargas, bassist Adan Escoto, drummer Revel Ian, and DJ/sampler Hunter Grogan. Signed to Blowed Out Records, XCOMM recorded their upcoming debut album Time To Burn with the legendary Ross Robinson producing. Their first two singles, “Reasons” and “Fake ID” showcase their ability to bottle frustration and self-awareness into precise, pummelling anthems. The latter, clocking in at just over two and a half minutes, turns the age restricted show rejection into a skate-punk rampage with a warped sense of humor and a breakdown built to decimate. XCOMM have already opened for Hatebreed, shared the stage with Down at Milwaukee Metal Fest, landed on LEO Weekly’s “10 Under-the-Radar Acts” at Louder Than Life, and supported the Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum earlier this month for a sold-out benefit concert in support of Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission. With their debut album slated for release later this year, the band have barely scratched the surface of the unabridged mayhem they are about to unleash. In the band’s words “XCOMM are coming for your life” —————— XCOMM
