Thursday, February 6th, 2025 – Los Angeles-based hardcore punk four-piece, XCOMM, are thrilled to announce that they have officially signed with Blowed Out Records. The band have been hard at work in the studio tracking their brutal debut full-length with legendary producer and Blowed Out Records co-founder, Ross Robinson. For those who like fast, furious, and fearless hardcore this is your next obsession.

Formed in 2023, the band quickly built a reputation for their breakneck speed, primal intensity, and chaotic live shows. Revel Ian (drums), Adan Escoto (bass), Michael Gatto (vocals/guitar), and Jay Vargas (guitar) channel the essence of classic hardcore—think Suicidal Tendencies, Minor Threat, Discharge, and Black Flag—but inject it with a visceral modern energy.

Their debut EP, Westside Punks, dropped in July 2024. An undeniable statement of intent, the EP immediately turned heads and left no doubt that XCOMM are here to flip the genre on it’s head and breathe new life and aggression into it. Now with new

label home Blowed Out Records the band, together with Ross Robinson’s unparalleled passion and expertise, are honing their unbridled fury into a sonic tour de force. XCOMM are poised to unleash the next chapter of chaos upon the world.

Speaking on today’s announcement and on working with XCOMM, Ross Robinson shares

“Raw, ripping talented kids, faced with so much heavy adversity, have turned to this super cool punk expression rather than some bitter self-destruction. It’s given me a next-level inspiration to go deep into some sweet unknown territory. I’m having way too much fun on this one.”

With Bill Armstrong (co-founder of Blowed Out Records) adding

“When Ross sent me XCOMM, I immediately felt the fire.”

Echoing Robinson’s excitement for the gargantuan debut album being forged via their creative partnership, the members of XCOMM have the following to say

Drummer, Revel Ian  – “Ross Robinson has been one of, if not the best producer in the scene for over 33 years, and we are stoked and honored that he chose to work with us. We have created a behemoth of a record, and we couldn’t have done it without Ross. I can’t wait for everybody to hear what we’ve made.”

Guitarist, Jay Vargas – “Everything is straight up working with Ross. What you’re gonna hear on the record is the real, violent, ferocious aggression you and I deal with everyday”

Vocalist & guitarist, Michael Gatto – “Ross is a Mad Scientist not afraid to experiment with different tones, different amps, different guitars and different techniques to get the unique sound of XCOMM. He continues to say he wants the “fire” so that’s what we give to him. We’re all around super excited about joining Blowed Out Records and we’re ready to destroy!!”

Bassist, Adan Escoto – “Working with Ross has been amazing. The record sounds like war and is very ferocious.

You’ll wanna destroy your house when you hear it.”

The pure, sonic anarchy of XCOMM displayed on their upcoming debut album is going to set a new bar for what aggressive, creative expression sounds like in 2025.

Stay tuned for more news on XCOMM’s debut album, new music and live shows coming soon.
