<p>The Mongrelettes is a new’n’cool garage band hailing from Athens, Greece & powered by a line up with four gals & one<br />guy!

Their first<br />fabulous 7” EP came out in 2011 via Fuzz Overdose Records, got lot of positive feedback and is out of print!!! So far, they<br />gigged with some cool bands like The Magnificent brotherhood, The Stems, The Fuzztones, Movie Star Junkies, TheFall,<br />etc.<br />Their debut full-length is out now captures the band at their finest hour, including an awesome opening organ-garage tune<br />called it “I’ll Cry Over You”, packed with a catchy & upbeat feeling!! “Baby Who Knows”, plus “Wait Another Day”, are great<br />moody-garage-winners for your next garageshutdown!!!<br />“You’ll Never Fall” & “I’am The One” are fine revved-up garage pounders with a “relaxed” teenattitude, uplifting your<br />day’n’night!!! “What’s Going On” is an ace track and one of my big faves, starts like a garage-beat tune & then transformed<br />into a real garage-punkadelic masterpiece with interesting tempo changes, reminds me the Ill Wind with a speed on, meet<br />the Hunger’s upside-down compositions, haunted by an ampheta-Californian feeling!!! “I Never Told You”, & “Shallow<br />Love” are groovie & organ-fuzzed-up stompers, for sure you’ll dig them to the max, the cool’n’mutated cover of The New<br />Wing’s ’68 anthem “I Need Love” will drive you crazy, while “Moments” is a moody-psychedelic-pop ballad with<br />drivin’n’cryin’ melody!! “Never Come My Way”, an instant-garage-shaking-hit, liqueuring your next drunken party! Last but<br />not least, “It’s Over” reach the climax, a trippy garage-pop-psychedelic tune at garagedelic velocity, focusing on<br />sweet’n’acid harmonies, Marika’s right-on-target vocals, theremin, an<br />“endless-journey-swirlin’-farfisa", as well bass & drums interchange, with lysergic guitar feedbackin’ your mind!!! A real<br />masterpiece!!! Without a doubt, The Mongrelettes are here to stay, they’ve won their personal battle between<br />dreams’n’nightmares, the Greek true-harsh reality, creating their garage-punk-psych-pop dream come true! An absolutely<br />essential release, a great debut that will just blow you away!!!</p>
