GHUM are a London-based post punk band, formed in 2016.
History
GHUM consist of Laura Guerrero Lora (vocals), Marina MJ (bass), Jojo Khor (guitar) and Vicki Ann (drums). They met after Marina placed an advertisement on Gumtree seeking bandmates.
They released their first EP, Ghum in 2017; their second, The Coldest Fire was released in 2019, backed with a UK tour in July 2019. The EP came to national media attention,[1][2][3][4] with the band doing a BBC Introducing session and lead track "Saturn" being playlisted by BBC Radio 6 Music.[5][6] The band's follow-up single "California", released January 2020, was debuted on the Steve Lamacq show on BBC Radio 6 Music [7] and featured on his 6 Music Recommends playlist.[8] The song was named one of the '20 best rock songs right now' by The Fader.[9]
Bands GHUM have played with include Dream Wife and L.A. Witch.[10] After seeing them, Alice Go of Dream Wife contributed a remix of their 2018 single "I'm the Storm".[11]
