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. From aliens to dinosaurs and sock monsters to radioactive squirrels and actual vacuum-packed teddy bears - they'll educate you by way of bob along mosh worthy tunes!
Long
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 a 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 their first EP and are expanding month by month, ambitious, but always keen to engage a crowd and have a blast with them!
