Mother Vulture are heading out on the “Cartoon Violence” tour across the UK, with dates running through March 7th in London. Kerrang! calls them “one of Britain’s most exciting new noises” and Distorted Sound crowns them “the new kings of British rock music,” and the live reputation backs all of it up. Classic Rock named recent single “Break Me” their Track of the Week, describing the band as “easily one of the most physical, explosive live bands in rock today.” Their last headline run produced multiple sold-out dates, including a hometown show at Rough Trade Bristol that hit capacity in 48 hours.
The sound sits in its own lane, an early 2000s hardcore attack wrapped around bouncy, infectious fuzz-riff energy, pulling from stoner punk, desert rock, and metalcore without fully belonging to any of them. Their debut album “Mother Knows Best” drew comparisons to Royal Blood at their fuzziest, Biffy Clyro at their heaviest, and Queens of the Stone Age at their most unhinged. Festival appearances at ArcTanGent, Bloodstock, and Steelhouse, plus support runs with Skindred, Reef, and Feeder, have built a live following that shows up and shows out. The “Cartoon Violence” album is coming, and this tour is the runway.
