Mens Rea is an Israeli Hard Rock/Grunge group, consisting of four 25 year old members. The band plays original music that has already received plenty of acclamations. The band's songs have been played on Israel's national radio, and have created quite a buzz. The 1st song on the band's MySpace, entitled "Abandoned", was recently released, and is the group's best song yet (probably because of its amazing guitar line). In addition, "Abandoned" has been selected by JMG (Jewish Music Group) for a compilation called "Israel Unleashed", released last November in the United States, and distributed by Sony/BMG. A video clip has also been released for this song.



During the last 2 years, the group has performed quite a lot (approximately 60 shows), including 2 gigs in major Israeli festivals (The Bereshit Festival and Tel Aviv University's Student Day) and a tour in the U.S (New York and New Jersey), with the band playing at "Kenny's Castaways", where huge artists such as Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen have started their careers.
The members are currently living and working in Israel, but are craving for an International career (so that a relocation is an option), and therefore all of the songs are in English. The members are university students or recent graduates, yet they will happily give up their studies and day time jobs to make the above dream come true.
