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. The video for
“C & 1/2” from their album “Reclamation” was given an exclusive
premiere on RevolverMag.com in June 2013.
“They might not be a pack of cross-bred dogs, but Mongrel's potent mix of punk and metal certainly packs a vicious bite."”
Terrorizer
"It’s like Skin from Skunk Anansie has just walked in and joined forces with Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey as the band grind out a huge slab of orgasmatronic heavy rock."
Johnny H - UberRock.co.uk
“One of "25 Artists That Made 2013 Rock"”
Rockwired Magazine
“one of metal’s best ‘undiscovered secrets’”
Ringmaster - Ringmaster Review
"This menacing song (Bored to Death) from the aggressive female fronted hard rockers from Boston, Massachusetts is the opening track from their blistering latest full length, "Reclamation."
Vive Le Rock
“If The Misfits and Metallica collaborated on a Guns N’ Roses tribute album, with members of Motorhead and Nickelback joining in the fray, it might sound similar to Mongrel’s latest EP The New Breed of Old School.”
Dan Marsicano - SMNnews.com
"'Reclamation' is an awesome album chock full of snot nosed, stiff upper lipped punk anthems with some tasty hard rock licks thrown into the mix." - Ian Weber (90.3 WKRB F.M.)

"Fans of punk-tinged metal a la Motorhead are going to find plenty to love here."
"You may have heard these songs before, but until you hear this EP, you've never heard them played to their full potential." (4 out of 5 skulls)
EdgeoftheWorld - Metal Underground
“In a nutshell, it's a bomb blast of an EP that'll have you reaching for the loop button to hear 'em again and again.”
Dom Daley - UberRock.co.uk
““Revenge” is another example of how this band continues to evolve and layer in more intellectual lyrical writing and dexterous musicality. By any account this album is yet another example of how kickass rock should sound and how the production should showcase that music flawlessly.”
