HEADLINE UK TOUR DATES KICK OFF 31ST JANUARY

"CARTOON VIOLENCE" DUE 15TH JANUARY 2026

Continuing to fire on all cylinders, MOTHER VULTURE have dropped the last single from their forthcoming album “Cartoon Violence”. With the album due for release on 15th January, the final offering 'Knuckles' is moody, groovy anthem, showcasing a final taste of what's to come from this genre bending LP.

Expressing their excitement, the band comment:

“With just a week away until we put out our best work yet, we wanted to present one of our favourite tracks on the album. It’s got a tasty groove, and some killer riffs, if we do say so ourselves. This is your final chance to pre-order the album, and get hold of a very limited first pressing of perhaps the greatest album ever made, at least by us.”

MOTHER VULTURE recently lived out a lifelong dream thanks to a team up with Gretsch guitars with their previous single 'Phoenix', launching a campaign for Gretsch’s new line of Jet series guitars. You can watch the ad here.

Described as “one of Britain's most exciting new noises” by Kerrang! and “the new kings of British rock music” by Distorted Sound, everyone seems to agree it’s a hard sound to put a finger on, but it's impossible to look away. MOTHER VULTURE perform like an early 2000s hardcore band but play a bouncy and infectiously fun style of fuzzy riff rock, with elements of stoner punk, desert rock and even metalcore, creating a melting pot of sound.

Recent years have seen the band make festival appearances at ArcTanGent, Bloodstock, RADAR, Bearstone (Croatia), Leopallooza, Steelhouse and Burn it Down among others, as well as taking to the road to support the likes of Skindred, Reef, Feeder, ‘68, Steel Beans, Jamie Lenman and Bokassa.

Their debut album "Mother Knows Best" has been described as “an explosion of monster hooks, punkoid ferocity, psychedelic moments and modern twists” by Classic Rock and “somewhere between Royal Blood at their fuzziest, Biffy Clyro at their heaviest and Queens of the Stone Age at their most crazed and chaotic” by Kerrang!.

MOTHER VULTURE’s last headline tour had multiple sold out dates, including a hometown date at Rough Trade Bristol that reached capacity in just 48 hours. Classic Rock Magazine had this to say when featuring the latest single "Break Me" for their Track of the Week: “Easily one of the most physical, explosive live bands in rock today – with feet in metal, hardcore and Hives-y turbo-rock territory – Mother Vulture bottle that ferocity in the aptly titled 'Break Me'.”
