Edit history

In July 2008, Mongrel Country released their first LP "Just Another Snake Cult", launching the album simultaneously with The Trevallys and The Moonlight Wranglers, to a capacity audience at Hyde Park Hotel. The album received strong reviews from local street press and was repetitively described as “sinister” and “difficult to explain”. The songs themselves touched on everything from Grunge to Country and Rock to discordant Indie-punk, this diversity occurred organically due to the combined efforts of the 2 drummers and bands 3 songwriters and vocalists; Max Ducker, Guitarist; Dean Anthonisz, Guitarist; and Tom Schmidt, Bassist. Just Another Snake Cult was local feature on RTR FM and featured popular tracks Long Pig and Where All End Meets, which still make an appearance in the bands live set today. Shortly after launching Just Another Snake Cult, Tom Schmidt left the Country, forcing the band to go on hiatus and find a new bass guitarist. Thankfully they needn’t look far,
