“Imagine a fight between the Streets and Bloc Party in the late eighties, all siren guitar over car crash bass, and you’re halfway to picturing yourself immersed in the haze delight of their live set.” - Punktastic

“practically perfect” - Distorted Sound (9/10)
Mouth Culture have announced a new EP ‘Whatever The Weather’, which will be released 4th October via InVogue Records. This news comes alongside the release of a brand new track from the Leicester trio in the form of ‘Everyday’, which is out today complete with creatively illustrative music video. The band say “Everyday is a self-reflective anthem that delves into the entrapment of everyday struggles. Exploring more mature themes around mental health, ‘Everyday’ is probably the most personal and vulnerable song we have ever written. It’s saturated in nostalgia and nods to shoegaze influences which haven’t been acknowledged on prior releases.”
Mouth Culture also recently announced a clutch of headline dates in November including their biggest shows so far. See below for details. Tickets on sale now. In addition to this, the trio have been announced on the line-up for the 2025 edition of Slam Dunk Festival, and they’ve been added to You Me At Six’s final European tour dates this year.
This band of brothers released their EP ‘Mishaps of My Mid Twenties’ in November last year - a scream into the ether in reaction to growing older and figuring out how all this works. They clearly struck a deep chord with a generation going through the same motions, racking up well over a million streams. Then, in hitting the road to meet those who had found such solace in their words, from touring with Teenage Wrist, supporting The Blackout, While She Sleeps and Honey Revenge and making their mark at Download, 2000trees and Truck Festival to taking over the UK on their own headline tour, they've seen their musings on modern life spread even further. A shared exorcism of the bullshit that we all go through without realising it and a marker for what putting your all into your passion can produce.
"'Mishaps of My Mid Twenties' came out of such a negative corner," vocalist Jack Voss admits. "But once you've had the chance to tour something like that and seen people fucking screaming it back at you, something clicks. So, when it came to ideas of what to do next, it was like, 'I don't want to write a chorus like that anymore. I want it to be like this."
"Everything we were doing was infused with that live energy," bassist Todd Groome adds. "When we were writing, we were picturing how it would feel to play it live. And having so much excitement and positivity around us brought us to a place where we wanted to showcase everything good about what was finally happening for us."
The result of that is 'Whatever The Weather', as instant a reaction to a change in perspective you are likely to ever hear. Where 'Mishaps of My Mid Twenties' served as a response to the life changes the band were going through at a pivotal point in their personal development – the harsh realities, the growing pains, the adult responsibilities – 'Whatever The Weather' is a response to getting a handle on all of those things and thriving despite them. Once again using the band as a vessel for unbridled expression as much as a means of making sense of the world, this new era and batch of songs is born from feeling comfortable in your skin as both a human and a performer.
Musically, the trio dial even deeper into a sound that is quintessentially them. Where before they would just nod towards their heroes, they have now fully plunged themselves into embodying the things that made them fall in love with music in the first place. Their admiration of British rock is pinned proudly to their sleeves, with the cheekiness of Lower Than Atlantis and arena-ready acclaim of You Me At Six thriving within the folds of these songs, but there's so much more to uncover. There are flickers of nu-metal aggression, bubblegum pop glitter and indie rock earnestness, all tied together by an attitude and exuberance that only they can deliver. With such a varied and volatile selection of sounds, there is no stone to be left unturned, and the thrill that comes with such exploration is something the band will never let fade into the background.
"We want to try everything," Todd smiles. "You don't know if something might work until you've tried it, so now is the perfect time in our journey to test it out. I see this band as a means of bringing together every sub-culture. If you can do that with something you have written, that is the power of music at its core. If you can find yourself in that, you can find yourself in anything, and we want Mouth Culture to be something you can find yourself in."
