We Are THE "Mother Fuckin" MONGRELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"CLENSING THE STREETS OF PUNK ASS BITCHES SINCE 2001"THE MONGRELS STORY:Could there have been hard hitting punk rock in the 1950's? If so it would have sounded like THE MONGRELS. Tim Avram-Guitar & Vocals, Shane Swank-Drums & back-up vocals, and Marx Dundas-Bass. The members of THE MONGRELS have opened for such diverse national acts as OZZY OSBOURNE, ROBERT BRADLEY'S BLACKWATER SURPRISE, ? AND THE MYSTERIANS, MUSTARD PLUG, THE MANSFIELDS, DANZIG, L.A.
