Hailing from Liverpool, Hannah’s Little Sister has been releasing a number of killer punk tracks over the past couple years. Having shared their song ‘Bin Mouth’ last month, the group now unveil their latest tune ‘Gum’, which is taken from their forthcoming, debut EP EP.mp3 out November 20th. A hyper shot of post-punk, twisting melodies wrap around firey guitar riffs and hammering drums. The change-ups in the production are wonderful additions, making the song a rollercoaster ride of a listen that you never want to end.

Touching on the song, singer Meg Grooters stated:

“‘Gum’ is another sort of rant (oops!) about consumerism and how it’s constantly distracting us from ourselves and from the state of our society/country/government/world etc. – all of the things!

I wrote it to remind myself there’s a difference between what I want and need, and what I’m being told or shown I should want or need.

We’re encouraged by the Big Boys in power to become addicted to materialistic things and social media, because it’s a great way of keeping us under control as a society that continues to put money in a small number of very rich people’s pockets.

Whether it’s social media, new trends, cool clothes or whatever, they’re vices pushed upon us that keep us pretty mind numbed and depressed. Yet we cling on to them in the false belief that these things can provide us with greater happiness or status, and help us climb up the socioeconomic ladder.”
