B.U.M .: The GrungePunk band will publish their new album 'The Infected' on October 26 + Premieres the video clip 'Parasites'

B.U.M. It comes from Cádiz -although its components come from different parts of the world- and brings you raw energy and direct lyrics. Originally formed in 2019, the band grew out of a pure passion for music and the need to break the silence, expressing themselves freely through their music.

The band is now releasing their long-awaited full-length, "The Infected". The album consists of 15 hard-hitting tracks, recorded by maestro Javier Rondan at Audiorama Studios between June 2020 and June 2021, dates of confinement and restrictions. All songs on the album are based on personal stories and real life situations, as well as a fierce criticism of bad habits in society and the environment around us.

The three members (Jimi, Todd, and Cri) come from different musical backgrounds, from heavy metal and ska-punk to folk rock. This combination creates a unique hybrid sound with deafening rhythms, thunderous basses, raunchy guitars, and a husky voice, resulting in a very energetic sound. The band often refers to their style as GrungePunk. Not like punk, metal, or purist rock. simply GrungePunk!

It all started when Jimi (English) and Todd (American) were introduced through a mutual friend and began to express their desire to create music different from their normal styles. Their first meeting was a success, with Todd arriving with various song lyrics and Jimi bringing them to life with music, even finishing a few songs on the first day. One of these songs was "Down and Out", which inspired the creation of the name of the band, the initials B.U.M.

After a couple of weeks, they felt a strong urge to include a bass, which led to contacting Cri (Spanish). After a few sessions with Cri, it became clear that he was the missing piece and the training was complete. With a growing repertoire and a desire to get their music out in a traditional way, they decided to contact an old friend of Cri, Javier Rondan at Audiorama Studio in Cádiz, and their first recording became the homonymous EP, “B.U.M.”.

B.U.M. has come hitting hard and this has only just begun!
