Venice Beach hardcore outfit XCOMM have announced their debut album Time To Burn, arriving Friday, 22 May 2026 via Blowed Out Records. Alongside the news, the band unveil their explosive new single and music video, “Borrowed Happiness.”
Produced by legendary producer Ross Robinson—known for his work with Korn, The Cure, Slipknot, Glassjaw, and At The Drive-In—Time To Burn is the definitive statement hinted at by early singles “Reasons,” “Fake ID,” and “Hot Pursuit / One And Nothing,” released after the band first emerged in September 2025.
Since breaking cover, XCOMM have moved at breakneck speed. “Fake ID” has racked up more than 2.5 million views, the band opened for Foo Fighters at a sold-out charity show at the Kia Forum, landed a coveted spot on the NME 100 for 2026, and rapidly built an online following of nearly 72,000 on Instagram.
Speaking on the making of Time To Burn, drummer Revel Ian shares:
“We sat behind our instruments, shared our deepest darkest secrets, and then continued to beat our instruments with each strum and stroke packed with unfiltered emotion. Ross Robinson transformed us into musical weapons that will blow your head off when you play our record.”
Frontman Michael Gatto adds:
“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.”
Producer Ross Robinson says:
“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.”
