London Goth Rockers Mouth Ulcers Tell a Tale of an Ancient Vampire in Their Video for “Lady Rust,” Starring The March Violets’ Rosie Garland

London gothic rock quartet Mouth Ulcers release “Lady Rust” on October 15, featuring Rosie Garland of The March Violets. The track, which opens with eerie tones and guitar distortion reminiscent of Bauhaus, tells the story of an ancient vampire guarding a deteriorating manor house. Vocalist Zak Watson delivers the song with detached, conversational composure over a supple bass groove and dark guitar figures. The video, directed and shot by Watson, shows the band performing amid peeling walls and shattered windows, with Garland’s close-ups in an oval mirror creating theatrical menace. Formed in 2025, Mouth Ulcers combine post-punk melodic basslines with gothic rock theatricality. Their debut album, You’re Not In Heaven, arrives April 23, 2027, via LAB Records. The band has upcoming UK and European festival appearances and will join The Mission at London’s Kentish Town Forum on November 6.
