The Open Mouths: R.I.P!

Rock and Roll - not wrong and right.

About Me

Ladies and gents! The Open Mouths are no more!After four glorious years, two Truck Music Festivals, 6 members and a whole heap of songs, we've called it a day. Who knows, we may be back one day....you can't keep a showgirl down. Michael Knife can be found writing and playing with Ginger Tom and Chris has turned synthetic with Metro Boulot Disco (www.myspace.com/metroboulotdisco)Sex Change Regrets? None at all ;-)"....The Open Mouths sound like The Ramones after a debauched night out at Studio 54 - all handclaps, thumping glam-punk beats and fist-in-the-air chants. Proof that, nearly 30 years later, punk's corpse isn't just twitching - it's positively dancing it's arse off." Check our blog for full reviews.
