"This past Sunday I saw The Virulent at The End, in Houston for the first time. I really liked their speed and sound mostly. One thing that draws me to certain artists is how they make use of rhythms. Mainly with the guitar and drums to make a very satisfying rhythm and to me this band had that. All their songs were full of energy and with a great sound." - Chris L.

With the crowd wanting more , several requests came in for the band , with hella enthusiasm , the band decided on playing "Peace Sells, Who's Buying?", ending their electrifying set , their energy setting the tone that carried on through the night.

Party Mouth

Carrying the sprit of fast pace fun, Party Mouth brought the spirit of Punk and Ska influences to the nonstop action of the night.

  Kicking ass since their inception , the four piece , not afraid to bring humor and chill, gave some insight to SPIRAL about their debut post Y2k entrance into the Houston music scene circa 2015. Staring off as a DIY project in their bed Room , Party mouth began touring on the East coast and expanded into Texas.

Party Mouth has gone by many names and is currently in a state of redefining their sound and presence but can be found in various projects through out the robust musicscape such as "Escape from The Zoo", "The Dead Rabbits" , "Days N' Days" and more. Though taking a low key approach , the bands sound speaks for its self in a big way. What was endearing about Party Mouth was their versatility with their change of playing styles and ability to switch between tempo but staying in sync while having fun.

Party Mouths approach is refreshing in the often scripted presence of the social media driven world. With trends , hashtags and influencer culture shaping navigation of artists , It is often hard to tell when an artist is masking behind what record executives or an audience may want but with Party Mouth you get uncapped fun, excitement and the spirit of doing what you love without compromising for validation. Whether the band is playing original pieces or covering their personal favorites , it is evident the spirit of punk rock and artistic integrity is the driving force of what makes Party Mouth so great.
