Fast-rising Leicester trio Mouth Culture closed out 2024 like a band ready to erupt.
Their year climaxed with a blistering, sweat-soaked headline show at London’s iconic Underworld and the release of their critically acclaimed EP, Whatever The Weather – a record that cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting names in modern rock. Every stage they hit turned into a riot of energy, crowd chants, and raw emotion.
Rolling straight into 2025, the band refused to slow down – dropping a red-hot run of singles including ‘Ratbag’, ‘Regret 101’, ‘Picking Wings Off a Butterfly’, and ‘On & On’. Each track showcased their knack for anthemic hooks and gut-punch honesty, connecting with fans who screamed every word back at them during unforgettable sets at Reading & Leeds Festival and their sold-out UK tour in October.
Now, with their highly anticipated debut album set to land next autumn – and a packed touring schedule already on the horizon – 2026 is shaping up to be another watershed year in Mouth Culture’s unstoppable rise.

As the most heavy band in DevilDuck’s lineup, WISENT’s music could be described as Post-Hardcore. This seems to be a good fit for the Leipzig-based band - a German wall of sound meets an Irish vocalist spitting his emotions out to us. But not only does the genre feel new for DevilDuck, it’s also the first concept album released via the Hamburg label.
