SOUTH London ska punk group Mouthwash are set to kick off a summer of touring in Huddersfield.
The five piece will bring their new more accessible sound to headline a night of mayhem at The Parish on July 17.
Mouthwash’s journey from a punk band in a West Norwood School to one of the UK’s most vaunted underground bands has been quite a ride.
Snapped up in their teens by Tim Armstrong to Hellcat records in 2001, the group released one album before internal complications, compounded by a tour around the US where the main means of transport was hitchhiking, led to the band returning to the UK to lick their wounds.
One line-up change and a lot of life experience later, Mouthwash have returned with a new album and a sound that has developed from the unbridled energy of yesteryear into a focussed blast of street music. Mouthwash have supported bands such as The Vandals,
Rancid, Less Than Jake, UK Subs and Agnostic Front and toured with bands such as Sonic Boom Six, The King Blues and many more.
Support on the night comes from The Guilty Pleasures and Huddersfield’s Wobbly Bob.
Doors 8pm – £5
