Mongrels are fabulous dogs: they are healthier and live much longer than pedigree specimens. But that may not apply to this indie supergroup of sorts. It features ex-Arctic Monkeys bass player Andy Nicholson, the band's current drummer, Matt Helders, and members of Reverend and the Makers and Babyshambles, but the lineup promises more than it delivers.
