Grimsby band Mint have released their latest EP M180. The 3-track record is an ode to those teenage years of growing up in Northern England, having to create means of excitement and adventurous times in not overly lively towns. Sonically the EP is a electric and wild ride of alternative, fuzzy psychedelic and noise rock, all acting as an amplified soundtrack to youth.
Touching on the inspiration of the EP, Zak Rashid stated:
“We were talking a lot at the start of the lockdown about what we were missing like festivals, the big hometown gig we had arranged, service stations and new fans and realised that actually there were loads of people missing out on huge life experiences. The ones that come once in a life like Reading festival after exam results, late night parties in the Grimsby East Marsh Estate and fires on the Cleethorpes beaches in Spring and driving in your first car out of town to parties with your cheap runner full of tanked up singing mates.”
