Live

Spiralmouth claim they "don't really do many shows these days. We spend most of our time in the studio working on various projects, but if you'd like to have Spiralmouth at an event, just drop us a line and we'll see what happens".

Spiralmouth is a unique collective of musicians. Drawing on their individual skills as composers, songwriters, producers and performers, they come together as an a cappella tour de force, combining a desire to make unique vocal music with a love of rock and roll. Influenced by a wide range of styles from Nine Inch Nails to the Beatles, Spiralmouth's signature sound is defined by raucous singing and inventive production techniques - an unapologetic departure from traditional a cappella music. Their self-titled CD debuted to much critical acclaim, including the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards "Best Pop/Rock Album" in 2000, and features Spiralmouth's groundbreaking innovations in all-vocal music.
