The LA punk collective continue the build up to the release of their new EP, due to land next month via HEY!FEVER Records:
JT of Heartwells says of the song:
‘Piss n’ Gums’ is a song about taking the beatings in life so much that it almost becomes masochistic. The metaphor of life being a cruel mistress in a way.
Growing up I ran into a lot of hurdles in life, I look back at a lot of the hardships and the cards I was dealt and how that has shaped me to be a stronger person and to rise above the things that would normally hold someone down.
Life is constantly a challenge but I think that’s what shapes us and makes us who we are. Ive learned to accept my challenges as experiences I’m supposed to have rather than try to avoid them. The sweet can’t taste as good without the sour. Life is like a Dom ready to crack a whip on you when you least expect it. Might as well learn to enjoy it!
I think the song is a lot of fun and has great energy. I wrote the intro riff and sat on it for years until the right composition came through. We threw some Motörhead lyrics in there for fun. My vocals on this song were done in one take!
