In mid September South London ska-punk act Mouthwash announced that they had joined the roster of Household Name Records. The band has begun work on their debut for the label and first full length since 2001's Hellcat released 1000 Dreams. Following the release of that album lead singer Ben McCarthy left the band and ushered in a four year lull in activity. The group, now active again with a reported lineup of Rob Tortelli, Mete Burch Bator, Chris Hugall, Rich Fry and Nipper, will be recoding in Brixton.
An unreleased song is now online at their website, titled "Sign of the Times."
The band has a handful of UK dates lined up for the rest of the year.
