Mouth Ulcers – Silent Pictures EP: Post-punk darkness from emerging London quartet
London-based post-punk band Mouth Ulcers, formed in 2025 by vocalist and guitarist Zak Watson alongside Josephine Rose, Jamie-Lee Culver, and David Zbirka, releases their debut EP Silent Pictures on LAB Records. The seven-track collection showcases mature songwriting with haunting guitar work that creates dreamlike dissonance through acidity and atmospheric layering, evoking Joy Division and The Cure influences while establishing a distinct identity. Short, propulsive tracks like ‘Prevail’ demonstrate the band’s ability to craft visceral post-punk with cinematic dimensions and cavern-like production. Two singles, ‘Satisfy’ and the title track, feature accompanying video illustrations. Despite their nascency, the band displays compositional sophistication and atmospheric command, with closing track ‘A Perfect End’ delivering particularly immersive production. They appear primed for expanded reach through strategic social media distribution before supporting The Mission in London during November 2026.
