London newcomers Mouth Ulcers sign to LAB Records and share new single ‘Prevail‘ on Feb26th.
Representing a new generation of dark post-punk (The Cure, Bauhaus, Twin Tribes), reshaping the genre into something urgent, youthful and intoxicating, Mouth Ulcers’ atmospheric guitars, tribal percussion and cavernous baritone vocals provide a sound described as ‘music for vampires to dance to’-moody, physical and irresistibly cool. Drawing from classic post-punk darkness while injecting fresh energy, the quartet stand alongside emerging acts redefining the underground. Their music feels immediate and alive, balancing menace with momentum and atmosphere with drive. Having recently made their live debut with sell-outs shows in the UK and the Netherlands, Mouth Ulcers are primed to unveil an extensive summer live plot, with news of their forthcoming debut EP set to arrive imminently.
Speaking on ‘Prevail’, the band stated: “The meaning behind Prevail was inspired by the film ‘stalker’ by Tarkovsky. The mental and physical struggle of surviving ‘The Zone’, a hostile and reality warping environment which threatens to erase one’s sanity.”
Mouth Ulcers is Zak Watson (vocals/guitar), Josephine Rose (guitar/vocals), Jamie-Lee Culver (bass), David Zbirka (drums).
