Bostonian Female-Fronted Rockers MONGREL to Perform at Rock & Shock Festival this Weekend
New Single ‘Snakes’ Available NOW via iTunes
New EP “Evolution” Coming Early 2014
With a lead singer who draws comparisons such as “a modern day Janis Joplin meets Otep” and a unique blend of aggressive rock influences, MONGREL has been on a roll for the better part of three years. Called “the hardest working band in Boston” (Metal Edge), MONGREL has released two EPs and a full length album since 2010 and is gearing up to release their next EP Evolution in early 2014.
But before that release, the band has announced the release of a new single, ‘Snakes’. You can download that single via iTunes starting this week. In addition to releasing a new single, the band is also pleased to announce that they’ll be performing at the 10th annual Rock & Shock Festival in Worcester, MA on October 19th, where they will share the stage with Danzig, Doyle, Otep, Butcher Babies, and many more.
The band’s new album 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).
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 six on the CMJ ‘Most Added” and hit 43 on the CMJ charts in 2012. The video for ‘C & ½’ from their album Reclamation was given an exclusive premiere on RevolverMag.com in June 2013.
