mOrTiFi'D is a cartoon pop punk band from Oxford who write and perform their own songs with stories of nonsensical whimsy for your entertainment and endorphins.

Have you always been suspicious of squirrels? Do you need instructions on looking after your Stanley? And whatever happened to that band 'Trash Can Banana'? Fear not, mOrTiFi'D have the answers to both these and questions you never even considered before! A cartoon pop punk trio, with upbeat songs of nonsensical whimsy to get you in good spirit! Formed in August 2024 just weeks before their first gig at popular music venue The Bullingdon, Oxford, mOrTiFi’D played 28 gigs around Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Devon and Cornwall, from pubs to festivals and even the O2 Academy Oxford in just their first year as a band. They have recorded and released their first EP and are expanding month by month, ambitious, but always keen to engage a crowd and have a blast with them!

Achievements

As of August 2026, mOrTiFi’D have played 59 gigs (including 5 festivals) across Oxfordshire, Wycombe, Aylesbury, Newquay, Watford, Torquay, Bournemouth, Leicester, Boston and Bath. 2 of these were competitions, including Metal2theMasses, Oxford; where despite being a unique entry for the genre, they reached quarter finals and were invited back to open the final.

 

They have played large venues such as O2Academy2, Oxford and the Bullingdon, Oxford, and cosier venues such as St James’s Wine Vaults, Bath. The band value relationships with promoters and venues and understand the importance of supporting grassroots venues, nurturing local music scenes and advocating for other musicians and artists.

They have enjoyed supporting established bands such as Slackkr and Get Loose, and working with respected promoters such as It’s All About the Music, Haven Club, Klub Kakofanney, Gappy Tooth Industries, Strummer Room Records,  Two Faced Promotions, Punk4theHomeless and many more.

mOrTiFi’D don’t just play music, they put on a show, and receive compliments on their energy and entertainment factor after their set, with people returning to be Moritifi’d again and again! They have recorded and released 5 songs, one of which has been played on Gwen Ever’s radio show.

 

The band perform 30-60 minute sets of mostly their own original songs with occasional covers performed in their own style.

 

mOrTiFi’D are ambitious and keen to expand their reach across the UK and worldwide.

Testimonials

"It's a pleasure to book Mortifi'd for a gig, because they bring so much more to the room than just the songs: handmade monster toys, inflatable bananas, crowd-sourced judgment on a Jurassic court case, you never know what you'll get!" - Richard 'Gappy'  Catherall, Gappy Tooth Industries

"Mortifi'd are proper old-school punk — loud, raw, energetic and with their tongues firmly stuck in their cheeks. Hailing from Banbury and armed with songs about Stanleys, radioactive squirrels and whatever other madness has crawled out of their heads, they prove that punk can still have plenty of attitude without taking itself too seriously. Live, they bring noise, humour and a healthy dose of chaos. No unnecessary polish — just catchy punk tunes, guitars & bass turned up and a band that clearly enjoys every minute of what they do. They’re exactly the sort of band we love putting on. They turn up, get stuck in, support the night and give it everything when they hit the stage. If you like your punk DIY, slightly unhinged and with a sense of humour, Mortifi'd are well worth catching. Loud. Daft. Proper punk. And watch out for the radioactive squirrels." — Chris, Strummer Room Records Presents

“I was first introduced to Mortifi’d whilst working as a photographer at Oxford’s Metal 2 The Masses events and was lucky enough to be able to capture a few of their sets throughout the competition, as well as band promo shoot more recently. Mortifi’d are an absolute pleasure both to watch, and to work with. Every experience has been fantastic from start to finish: they are genuinely lovely people - fun, friendly and easygoing whilst always maintaining professionalism; and they are skilled in their craft. You can always rely on them to put on a brilliant show and it is easy to see the passion they have for what they do shining through at every gig. They have a real talent for capturing the crowd and always offer up something quirky, a bit different and more importantly, truly FUN that leaves everyone with a smile on their face at the end of the set. I have immensely enjoyed watching and working with them and can highly recommend them.” – Kate ElfstrÖm, photographer.

“Mortifi’d is the definition of ELECTRIC, with a sound unique from the rest. I had the pleasure of working with them early 2026 at the Apple and Parrot - Torquay, as their sound engineer. They are a professional, fun, easy going trio. With riffs and rhythms that will blow you away. You don’t just get music when you go to see mortifi’d live, you get a performance, with magnetic stage presence and quirky jokes. You can’t not have a good time. I look forward to working with them again in the future!” Isla - @vibecheckaudio

 

“After a long and hot festival season for us in 2026, Mortifi'd arrived with professionalism and an energy that caught the stage team by surprise, little did we know their set would be one of most original we'd heard all year! You can't really pigeon-hole the sound which is what makes it so unique. We're personally looking forward to seeing them again in the future.”
