Venice Beach hardcore punk band XCOMM release the new single “Fake ID,” now available on streaming platforms alongside an official music video. Written by frontman Michael Gatto, the track draws directly from being turned away from under-21 shows and channels that experience into a fast, aggressive song built around beatdown rhythms and sharp pacing. “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,” Gatto says. “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.”
The release coincides with a major live moment for the band, as XCOMM support Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles for a sold-out charity concert benefiting Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission, held on Dave Grohl’s birthday. “Fake ID” is the second single from XCOMM’s upcoming debut album ‘Time To Burn’, produced by Ross Robinson and coming via Blowed Out Records. The song locks frustration into a compact, high-impact release that hits hard and moves fast, marking a confident step forward for a band gaining attention through live shows and sharp, direct recordings.
