Mongrel Bassist 'Rev' Leaving In February 2011

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Mongrel Official Website) Mongrel, the female fronted aggressive punk-rock-metal band known as "the hardest working band in Boston" (Metal Edge) is looking for a new bassist as Rev, their bassist of the last 5 years, will be stepping down at the beginning of February. "Rev has been a valued member of this band and good friend for 5 years now and while we're certainly disappointed he's not able to continue with the band, we certainly respect his decision, are on excellent terms with him, and wish him nothing but the best. Being the class act that he's been throughout his 5 years in the band, Rev let us know his intent to leave a couple months ago and still was more than willing to record his parts for our new full length album" stated band founder Adam Savage.

Recording and mixing for Mongrel's new full length album (due out in April or May) was completed a couple of weeks ago by Jim Foster (Nullset, POD, Graveyard BBQ) at White Sight and Sound in Framingham, MA and will be the follow up to the band's Fall 2010 release, the 6 song "The New Breed of Old School" EP which is available on itunes, amazon, and https://mongrel.bandcamp.com. Mongrel recently signed on with manager Damon Moreno at The Inner Light Agency (Destrophy, Hell Within) and is currently entertaining options for the release of the new album.

Any bassists looking to audition can contact the band on their myspace (www.myspace.com/mongrel), www.facebook.com/mongrelband, www.facebook.com/mongrelofficial or by email at [email protected]
