Mouthpiece (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mouthpiece was a New Jersey straight edge hardcore punk band from 1991 to 1996. While they had only three records, they had a huge fan base during their time together. Often seen as one of the last bands of the youth crew era, or the earliest revival of it, their popularity was due in part to the relative scarcity of other bands in New Jersey at the time. However, many fans and critics alike credited them as a rare voice of reason in comparison to the aggressive trends in straight edge bands at the time.
Following their breakup, vocalist Tim McMahon went on to Hands Tied. Of note, Pat Baker of the New Jersey based band The Semibeings was an original member of Mouthpiece.
Aside from Mouthpiece (New Jersey). There is also another Mouthpiece (Nashville): With mutual influences like Stone Temple Pilots, Collective Soul, and Soundgarden, vocalist Devin Williams and bassist Brad Singleton, who met through a mutual friend, joined forces with drummer Jeremiah Roberts to form Mouthpiece. This band’s soulful sound is a fusion of modern rock combined with heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies. Based out of Nashville, Tn. the band has been playing various local and regional venues while promoting their self-released debut album, Where Do I Begin.
