Rising alt-rock outfit Mouth Culture have signed a publishing deal with Notting Hill Music.
The Leicester band have performed at festivals including Reading & Leeds, Download, Slam Dunk and The Great Escape.
BBC Radio 1 and Kerrang! Radio have given airplay support to Mouth Culture tracks Ratbag and Picking Wings Off A Butterfly.
Rosie Jennings-Helyer, Mouth Culture’s manager at Real Life Management, said: “The band’s rise has been driven by great songs and genuine audience connection, and Roy and Leo immediately understood that potential. The band are right on the cusp of something special and this deal marks a defining moment in their journey. Partnering with Notting Hill Publishing at this stage allows us to build on the growing buzz around them and give their music the platform it deserves.”
“Rosie first got in touch about Mouth Culture and asked if I’d check them out in Wolverhampton,” said Notting Hill Music A&R Roy Davis. “They completely blew me away. I saw them again at Reading and that confirmed it – this was a band we had to sign. I met the guys after the show and that sealed it. I’m incredibly proud to be involved in their journey.”

“I’d already heard great things about Mouth Culture from Roy, but seeing them live for myself in Brighton and London completely reaffirmed it,” Notting Hill Music Group COO Leo Huntington-Whiteley added. “You could feel the excitement around the band growing each time. Huge thanks to their lawyer Pete Bott at Blacks for helping make this happen, and to Rosie and the band for showing the faith – we’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead.”
In a statement, Mouth Culture said: “Signing with Notting Hill feels like a real full-circle moment for us. Mouth Culture has always felt like an authentic representation of us as mates and as people. It’s always about the songs first – the words, the feeling it gives you, the intent behind them – and it means a lot to partner with a team that genuinely understands that.
“We’ve spent years building our identity through writing, experimenting, and trusting our instincts, so to have that recognised at this level feels incredibly validating. We’re excited to grow with Notting Hill and see where these songs can go next!”
