Mongeese formed late in 2014. After meeting, and swiftly bonding over shared influence from Progressive rock from ‘Yes’, ‘The Physics House band’ and ‘Tool’ and, 2000’s Math-Rock and Ambient music, they’ve neatly crafted their own niche. Luscious Jazzy chord progressions with monotonous driving rhythms suddenly explode into dissonant Post-Hardcore noise, laden with odd-time signatures. In a time filled with apathy, Mongeese create something daring and unpredictable but with surprising pop sensibility.
After spending the first ¾ of 2016 gigging early songs to no end and gathering a fan base, the lads went into hibernation and set about writing new material. The first fruit of this labour, the single ‘The Shores Breathe’ will be out March 2017 with a release show on the 17th at Jumpin’ Jacks. The process of recording their debut EP is already underway and the record should be released in April.
