Gumming - Slipstream

  Gumming are a post punk band from Richmond, Virginia who featured on here a couple of years ago when I highlighted a "noisy, pissed off, but not without a tune" song of theirs that I had included in a Just Some Punk Songs show female vocalists special   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/04/gumming-anger-ranting.html

  That track was from their previous and very good album Human Values. Last month they returned with new full length Overripe and it's another winner. The band are a 4 piece; Emelie Von Unwerth (vocals), Landon Walker (guitar), Marisa Cagnoli (bass) and Lee Halpin (drums), the songs are compact flurries of spiky noise bursting with spit and snarl. The vocals are confrontational the music jagged and intense.  You can get the vinyl version from Vinyl Conflict   http://vinylconflict.storenvy.com/collections/264674-all-products/products/30368569-gumming-overripe-lp-vc-030

  Digitally go here and you'll find it as a name your price download   https://gumming.bandcamp.com/album/overripe

  This is the opening track and what a fine way to kick things off. It's an intense burst of creeping paranoia that'll leave you sweating and looking over your shoulder. "They're Coming For Us"...  Sleep With One Eye Open, Don't Blink And Don't Turn Your Back Now"... "They Know All About You, They Know How To Find You"

  It's called Slipstream...

Gumming - Anger Ranting

 

  The next Just Some Punk Songs show will broadcast this Tuesday at 8pm (gmt) and will be a special show featuring just bands with female vocalists. Don't expect X Ray Spex, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bikini Kill etc as that would be too predictable (and too much of a nostalgia fest). The bands I'll be playing will be for the most part more modern day (though the classic corner section of the show will feature a song from 1966). Also don't expect anything as predictable as a playlist comprising the likes of Amyl And The Sniffers, Neighborhood Brats, Stiletto Bomb, Ubik and all those other great bands that have lit up recent shows. That would be a bit too easy (although a couple of recently featured bands with new releases will get another plug). What can you expect? Tune in Tuesday and you'll hopefully be wowed....  https://www.facebook.com/events/1892360577497894/ 

  As a teaser I'll feature one of the bands that'll feature on today's update. Gumming formed in March 2017, are based in Richmond, Virginia and feature Emilie (vocals), Landon (guitar), Marisa (bass) and Lee (drums). In May of last year they announced themselves with an 8 track Self Titled release that's name your price on Bandcamp. Last month they returned with impressive album Human Values. It's also name your price so no reason not to snap it up.... https://gumming.bandcamp.com 

  Also online is a 15 minute video of their first ever gig....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcvLZBVS2sc

  The song I'm highlighting is track 8 on the album and is a good summation of their sound. Noisy, pissed off but not without a tune. Really good actually. This is Anger Ranting.....
