Möngöl Hörde Re-emerge with First New Recordings In 5 Years "Godfrey Newman" & "Selfiestixamitosis" (Xtra Mile Recordings)

Möngöl Hörde is a London, UK-based Hardcore Punk/Noise Rock band consisting of Frank "Renrut" Turner, Ben "Awesome" Dawson & Matt "Nadir" Nasir. Both Turner & Dawson were former members of UK Post-hardcore/Punk band Million Dead, while Nasir is actively part of Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. Following the 2005 dissolution of Million Dead, Frank Turner kick-started a now-successful solo career as a Folk Punk/Rock singer-songwriter releasing multiple albums through Xtra Mile/Epitaph and Ben Dawson currently plays drums with Palehorse, Mothlite, Queen of Swords, and Armed Response Unit. While Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls' are wildly successful and harken back to the sounds of Flogging Molly, Billy Bragg & Bruce Springsteen, I've always wanted something a bit more Punk/Hardcore-adjacent in the vein of Million Dead; so, I was extremely stoked to recently discover Möngöl Hörde's guttural, "Hardcore as f**k" self-titled 2014 debut.


"Lyrically, it's very different from what I do now, it's kind of depraved. The first song we wrote is about Natalie Portman's tapeworm using her as a glove puppet to lead an uprising in Hollywood..." Frank Turner remarked on the overall seriousness, or lack thereof, of Möngöl Hörde back in 2012. Now, five years after their debut, Möngöl Hörde have returned with a quick-strike 2-track digital EP entitled Godfrey Newman / Selfiestixamitosis. First, only available to purchase through their US/EU online store along with ANY purchase, now, the songs have been made widely available across digital streaming platforms. It appears as though "Godfrey Newman" isn't exactly "new," as it was previously featured as a Bonus Track on 2014's Möngöl Hörde. Although, "Selfiestixamitosis" is, in fact, the first brand spankin' new Möngöl Hörde recording in 5+ years. Also, in addition to the newly-released music, Möngöl Hördehave announced NÖRTH AMERICAN INVASIÖN MMXIX through December 2019. Dates for Möngöl Hörde's upcoming US Tour can be found at MONGOLHORDE.co.uk and both "Godfrey Newman" & "Selfiestixamitosis" can be streamed on your preferred digital platform.
