Stream the latest single from the Ross Robinson-produced effort with the hostile, "Borrowed Happiness".

Combining hardcore punk with rock heavy chops, XCOMM, the teenage phenoms from Venice Beach, CA continue to soar as one of the space's most buzzworthy bands. Debuting the Ross Robinson-produced project just last year, volatile singles in "Reasons," "Hot Pursuit, One and Nothing" and the meteoric "Fake ID" thrust the band into the spotlight, earning an opening set for the Foo Fighters at The Kia Forum in Inglewood and landing on NME's prestigious 100 of 2026. 

Riding the initial acclaim of their first succession of singles, XCOMM has now announced their debut full length album, Time to Burn. The release arrives May 22nd via Blowed Out Records and serves as a emphatic statement of not only the power and potential of XCOMM, but the future of hardcore punk music.

Ross Robinson offered his insight, Nothing brings me more satisfaction as a producer than sharing that undeniable life force of untainted expression…XCOMM, being the youngest band I’ve ever worked with, I had to nickname the studio sessions as “daycare.” It was so fun and alive throughout the whole process. Made me realize on another level how important the pulse of youth truly is. 

XCOMM drummer Revel Ian shared his gratitude for Robinson in helping the band tap into their full potential. "Ross Robinson transformed us into musical weapons that will blow your head off when you play our record." 

 

To commence the album campaign, XCOMM have shared their latest single, "Borrowed Happiness," which frames the band's brash brand of California punk. Paired with a new music video that captures the band's raw intensity, the single offers an indication of the volatility and volume to come. 

The band's frontman Michael Gatto shared, "I'll forever be grateful for having the opportunity to record this album, the whole process from tracking to mixing was truly incredible. Borrowed Happiness is one of my favorite tracks on the record, shooting the music videos with Darren and all the dudes in the van was super cool and I love when we play this one live."
