#390 JESSICA, CHAD & OSCAR from GOMER

Gomer is a Toronto-based power punk band born during the 2020 pandemic. What started as a demo-swapping project grew into a full-force collaboration, with the lineup solidifying in 2024: Michael Hawco (bass), Chad Kerswill (vocals), Oscar Laguan (guitar), Jessica Fleming (guitar), and Andrew McMullen (drums). Their debut release, The Age of Gomer (2022), laid the foundation for their storytelling. But the band has since pushed their sound, energy, and songwriting further than ever. At the heart of Gomer is a character who embodies struggle, persistence, and the demand to be heard in a world not built for them. That hero is flawed but relatable, someone who continues to fight no matter the odds. Gomer’s next chapter begins with their EP The Rise of Gomer in September 2025, followed by their first full-length album Gomer Lives in early 2026. Both releases mark the band’s evolution into a sharper, louder, and more fearless force.
