In the filthy sludge depths of Vancouver, the smoke clears, albeit briefly. With a thunderous cough, three shadowy figures emerge from the miasma. The throaty Deuce on guitar and vocals, tattooed drumming beauty Bina and the heavy handed 'The Judge'on bass. They've come to deliver another offering, their newest creation 'White Rhino'.

Like illicit home-distillers, Mendozza keep perfecting their formula, searching for the perfect combination of ingredients, timing and age.

This time they've perfected their bastard strain in conspiracy with producer / engineer Rob Shallcross (Gwar, Strapping Young Lad, Jaw) and mixed by Billy Anderson (Melvins, High On Fire, Weedeater) whose resin caked fingers dialed in the album's array of thunder, grit and earthy tones that slam into the earth like a screaming pink belly in the desert sun.

'White Rhino' is a fresh batch of songs that are very potent. With sounds of crushing doom that make you feel as if you are on the battlefield ready to submit. Mendozza takes you deep into the battle with war anthem grooves that etch into your skull like a parasite in a new home. 'White Rhino' will leave a lasting mark. The listener is invited to the front lines of the smoking pink belly. Inhale the White Rhino deeply, and be saved.

Mendozza independently released 2 albums in their first year. The 'HMCS Uganda' and 'Illuminairus' both sold over 4000 copies independently in less than 2 years. Rave reviews have come from Metal Hammer, Thrasher and SBC Skateboard and many other magazines, fanzines, and webzines all over the world.

Devoted Mendozza fans are worldwide with the help of the release of their song 'Eternal Battle' on the Underworld II Soundtrack in January 2006.

Mendozza is a neuroticly touring band that has independently booked 8 tours across the United States and 4 western Canadian tours with a mighty reception and repeated attendance. Mendozza have shared the stage with Soilent Green, Jucifer, Speedealer, Valis, Kalas, Dixie Witch, Pride Tiger, 3 Inches of Blood and countless others.

White Rhino is now available on the band's myspace page at myspace.com/mendozza, though, you must see Medozza live to capture the essence of this band.
