Mongrel

With a singer who draws comparisons such as “a modern day Janis meets Otep” and a unique blend of aggressive rock influences MONGREL has been on a roll since their change to a female singer 3 years ago. Called “the hardest working band in Boston” (Metal Edge), MONGREL has released 2 EPs and a full length album since 2010 and is gearing up to release their next EP “Evolution” in early 2014. “Evolution” was recorded by Jim Foster (POD, Nullset), mixed by Dave Fortman (Slipknot, Otep, Mudvayne, Evanescence, Soil) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Pantera, Nirvana, The Cult). The lead off track and first single from the EP entitled “Snakes” is set to be released in October 2013 at the 10th annual Rock & Shock Festival in Worcester, MA where Mongrel will share the stage with Danzig, Doyle, Otep, Butcher Babies, and many more. Mongrel has toured extensively in the US, repeatedly sharing stages with rock, metal, and punk luminaries as diverse as Godsmack, Halestorm, Korn, Gwar, The Misfits, FEAR, Sepultura, Otep, Fu Manchu, Mindless Self Indulgence, Dizzy Reed (Guns N' Roses), Vision of Disorder, Prong, God Forbid, Trashlight Vision, Piggy D’s Evacuation Plan (Rob Zombie bassist), Warrior Soul, Hed(pe), All That Remains, Mushroomhead, American Head Charge, Shadows Fall, etc. Along the way, Mongrel has earned an impressive collection of endorsements and sponsorships including Marshall Amps, Peavey, Monster Cable, Seymour Duncan, Dean Markley, Artist Series Guitars, Agile Guitars, In Tune Guitar Picks, TRX Cymbals, Cabin Fever Whiskey, and Cocaine energy drinks. Mongrel had the RockMyMonkey album of the year in 2010, was named “punk band of the year” by Pulse Magazine in 2011, was number 6 on the CMJ ‘Most Added” and hit 43 on the CMJ charts in 2012.
