History

Mouthwash originally formed as a three-piece band consisting of Ben McCarthy (vocals/bass guitar), Rob Tortelli (guitar) and Chris Hugall (drums). They played their first gig in early 1997 in a South London record store called Shake Some Action.

Their first release was an EP entitled Music for the Average Ninja which was released on their own self-funded record label, Hot Wok Records.

In 1997, Rich Fry took over bass guitar duties from Ben, with the latter maintaining his role as vocalist for the band. During this time, Mouthwash supported such bands as The Vandals, Rancid, Less Than Jake, U.K. Subs and Agnostic Front; as well as headlining gigs in their own right.

Whilst supporting Rancid, Tim Armstrong asked the band to join Hellcat Records. The tracks Fools Gold and We Evolve feature on the Hellcat Records compilations Give 'Em the Boot volumes II[2] and III[3] respectively.

In January 2001 Mouthwash released their debut full-length album, 1000 Dreams, on Hellcat Records.

Mouthwash took a break before returning in 2005 with a new line-up. The new Mouthwash participated on the inaugural Ruff and Ready Tour in February 2007 alongside Sonic Boom Six, The King Blues and Failsafe.

Their new CD, their second full-length, was originally slated to be released on London-based independent label Household Name Records, although they have released it on their own label, WDC Recordings[4].
