Speak Resistance is the second full length of Munich’s punk-rocker, with which they prove once more that punk-rock does not need to be monotone and uncatchy. Speak Resistance combines in an elegant way all the influences that shaped MONGREL from the beginning: punk-rock, ska some metal or hardcore and the addiction to melodies without creating clownish pop music. The powerful message of Speak Resistance is topped off with its smart lyrics –straight from the heart and nevertheless directly in your face. It is this combination that makes Speak Resistance to a stirring full length without being dull, strikingly or bathetic. MONGRELs Speak Resistance knows how to enthuse becasue it does not want to make propaganda but still speaks ist own language.
