Where have all the goth kids gone? Well, here they are. [Mouth Ulcers](https://mouthulcers.bandcamp.com/?ref=therunningkick.eu) hail from the haunted suburbs of Big Smoke. They combine melodic basslines and the emotional intensity of post-punk with the dramatics of gothic rock. My friend John Robb had been praising them for a while, so I gave them a listen and was hooked immediately. Their debut EP, *Silent Pictures*, already delivered a proper goth rock sound, so I was curious about the new song.

If you are into vampire tales, *Lady Rust* is for you. It's the band's latest release and it's taken from their debut album, *You’re Not in Heaven*, which is due to be released on 23 April 2027.

For *Lady Rust*, they’ve brought in none other than Rosie Garland of The March Violets. That alone already sells the track to me. I've been a long-time fan of The March Violets. I met Rosie at Louder Than Words festival in Manchester last year, and seeing her appear on a track like this with a band like this feels simply fitting.

Eerie tones and howling sounds create a sense of danger before the distorted guitar locks the rhythm in. The groovy bass and drums then bring everything into motion, with a haunting guitar riff as the threatening counterpart. The bass drives the song forward as the guitar turns the atmosphere more grim.

It's a song for dark, mysterious October evenings, when a gothic tune seems to be the only fitting soundtrack.

[Mouth Ulcers](https://www.instagram.com/mouth.ulcers?vrfl=b3hjc3plMTgwMGp1&ref=therunningkick.eu) are a band to watch, and I highly recommend giving them a listen if goth is your thing... but even if it isn't, you might discover a mystical charm in their sound.
