Oedipus and The Mama’s Boys

Oedipus and The Mama’s Boys are an octet from Edinburgh, blending raw post-punk energy with experimental noise rock textures. Armed with guitar, bass, saxophone, violin, drums, trumpet and synths, their sound is chaotic, cathartic, and original. Drawing influence from genre heavyweights like IDLES, Gilla Band, Squid, The Murder Capital, and Gurriers.

Known for their intense live performances, the band sold out their headline show at Sneaky Pete's and made their Glasgow debut at the world famous King Tut's, opening the venue's prestigious Summer Nights series. With a lineup that pushes boundaries and a sound that defies convention, Oedipus and the Mamas Boys are carving out a bold new space in the UK's underground music scene. With exciting support slots with ‘Joe and the Shitboys‘, ‘Legss’, ‘Hotel Lux’, ‘Bones Ate Arfa’ and ‘ Fuzz Lightyear’ played in 2025, this band is only just getting started.
