Toronto’s punk rock mischief-makers The Mendozaz are back with their latest single, “An American Werewolf in London, Ontario,” a feral, fast-paced love story drenched in humor, blood, and moonlight. The track serves as the second advance single from their upcoming eight-song concept EP The Completely Fictional History of This Great Nation of Canada, arriving earlier this week via Cartridge Heart.

Leaning into their signature mix of satire and sincerity, “An American Werewolf in London, Ontario” transforms pulp horror into pogo-ready punk. The song channels the spirit of The Dead Milkmen, PUP, and Green Day, combining razor-sharp hooks with tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Beneath the chaos lies an unlikely romance: a guilt-ridden Michigan werewolf torn between his bloodlust and his forbidden love across the border.

What could have been a grim monster ballad instead bursts with jittery energy and absurd charm — a perfect reflection of The Mendozaz’s ability to turn dark ideas into singalong anthems. The track’s infectious vocal lines and charging guitars make its horror premise feel oddly joyful, a reminder that the band’s power lies in contradiction.

Since forming in 2017, the Toronto trio — Jonny (vocals/guitar), Michael (vocals/bass), and Dic (drums) — have carved out a niche with their blend of melodic punk and theatrical storytelling. Their upcoming EP promises more of that madness, reimagining pieces of Canadian history and folklore through a satirical, power-chord-fueled lens.

With The Completely Fictional History of This Great Nation of Canada, The Mendozaz prove they’re as fearless in concept as they are in execution. “An American Werewolf in London, Ontario” isn’t just another punk single — it’s a bite-sized horror-comedy disguised as an anthem, delivered by a band that never met an idea too weird to turn into a banger.
