Album review
Wall of Sound
Supergroups, eh? That's no work at all for PRs - they just sell themselves. Fans of artist #1 meet fans of artist #2 = payday for everyone involved. Well, that is the case, but Mongrel - one part former Arctics, one Babyshambles, two Reverend and The Makers and one Lowkey, from rappers Poisonous Poets - justify their existence on this début.
Politically charged, socially aware and culturally pertinent, the schizophrenia of Mongrel's personnel does impact on the music somewhat, leaving songs with raps and indie guitar choruses loping side by side. A mongrel indeed.
