MOTHER VULTURE UNLEASH NEW SINGLE
Still firing on all cylinders, Mother Vulture have unleashed their latest single, ‘Phoenix’, a track that roars with their most anthemic chorus to date, declaring “This is everything to me.” It’s a line that encapsulates the sheer passion behind the band’s journey so far.
Leaning slightly back into their classic rock roots, "Phoenix" also showcases Mother Vulture’s evolution, fusing sharp, fast-paced drum breaks with a towering chorus and a blistering guitar solo. It’s a bold, modern rock anthem with a nostalgic edge.
“This latest tune holds a really special place in all of our hearts,” says guitarist Brodie. “'Phoenix' is really special to all of us, I think the lyrics kind of speak for themselves on this one. We’ve worked really hard to get where we are, and this tune feels like a cathartic release.”
In a move as bold as the track itself, ‘Phoenix’ arrives alongside an unexpected collaboration: a brand-new partnership with Gretsch Guitars. The single doubles as the soundtrack to Gretsch’s launch campaign for their latest Jet series, with the accompanying video featuring the band front and centre.
While the Gretsch collaboration adds an exciting twist, Mother Vulture remain fiercely DIY at heart - self-releasing ‘Phoenix’ and planning to do the same with their upcoming album Cartoon Violence, out 15th January 2026.
Fresh off the announcement of their 2026 UK tour, the band will close out this year supporting REEF on their sold-out October dates, followed by a short run in Belgium this December. Their next UK headline show will be the official Cartoon Violence album launch at The Phoenix, Exeter (450-cap), on 31st January 2026.
