Green Freakzilla? is the latest effort from South Korean pop-punk band GUMX and their best to date as they push for more well deserved international attention. The three piece started in 1996 under the name GUM playing over 1000 shows in Seoul’s trendy Sinch’on and Hong’ik districts during Korea’s brief explosion of punk in ’98-’99. They released an album, changed their drummer and then changed their name. This is their second release under the name GUMX, following up last year's What’s Been Up? released on Japan’s Toy Factory label and causing a wave of interest in the band. They were invited to play several large festivals and had their song featured on Japanese broadcasting network TBS’s “Super Soccer.” All of this culminated in them joining the Suicide Machines on their Japanese tour.
