“MONGREL MIX is a dynamic and innovative act which draws inspiration from a wide variety of American music genres. Performing contemporary Rock and R&B, Mongrel Mix engages audiences with a fusion of Blues, Rock, Latin, Jazz, and Funk with Afro-Cuban rhythms. Our music is intensely passionate and ranges from acoustic folk tales to angular post-pop and rock. We are a global band with a global sound straight out of Philadelphia: city of brotherly love.”

“Barry Preston, already known as a powerful, eclectic, musician and songwriter, is the force behind Mongrel Mix, a new rock and R&B based band that is getting a lot of attention. Their first album, Predatory Heat, is a steamy blend of savvy and soul, emotion and wit. The name Mongrel Mix reflects the scope of Preston's musical influences as well as the diverse backgrounds of the band's members. ”

“Our first thought on Mongrel Mix is a good one. We can't figure out to whom to compare them. Talking Heads? Billy Bragg? It's hard to say. Our second thought on this Philadelphia mustached foursome (keyboardist Ed Wagner excluded) is a good one, too: They're pretty awesome. At times folksy, then bluesy, jazzy, rocky, tracks 1-10 are oh most enjoyable. This is one of those albums you can listen to all the way through without your friends going, "That first song was pretty cool, but this one, eh..." So, rock your head, sing along, have fun. It's fun.”

— Randy LoBasso, Origivation Magazine

“Mongrel Mix is an eclectic blend of unique styles where it seems music is coming from all directions. You’re not just getting chocolate or vanilla from this group; you have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Everything from straight rock to classic rock to roots & folk; you’re getting a little bit of this and a little bit of that. You even hear elements of blues—sometimes classic-sounding and even folksy at times–, funk, Latin rhythms, acoustic folk and classic pop. ”

— Jimmy Rae, Skope Magazine

“ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- They've been described as a ground-breaking phenomenon, covering the territory from genuine roots to funk. Mongrel Mix, a group from the Philadelphia suburbs, is made up of four members: Barry Preston, Ted Pileggi, Gregory "Ju Ju" Jones, and Ed Wagner. Mongrel Mix stopped by 69 News at Sunrise to show us what they're all about and help us kick off another "Music Monday."”
