Ok, we know the holidays are over but would someone please ship us down a bucket of that holy, holy Edmonton water? The city seems to be on a real creative streak lately and we’re more than a little jealous over at Mint HQ! Not to worry though, because we’re happy to announce our brand new relationship with Edmonton’s Faith Healer!
Faith Healer quietly crystallizes on their new album
Yes, we know you are busy planning the perfect Halloween costume but guess what? The Mint Records Ridiculously Early Xmas Party is almost here!
Yep, it's that time of year again where we pile the Mint family into a van (or two if we're lucky) and swap coastal for cattle. Why on earth would we do that? For none other than the eighth edition of Calgary's Sled Island, of course!!
It's not like we're just bringing along a band or two either. This year we're having a whole freakin' showcase, and we've teamed up with our friends Super Moon (formerly Movieland) for good measure!
THE MINT RECORDS SLED ISLAND DAY PARTY!
Once again, we're unpacking our sunglasses and summer attire from storage and will be migrating South to the city of Austin, Texas for their SXSW festival. Are you going to be there too? Let's get heatstroke together!
We're also planning a party! It's free, and unofficial, and you should come see some of Canada's finest bands in action!
THE MINT RECORDS SXSW DAY PARTY
Thursday, March 13th, 2014

We know it's still November, but our Ridiculously Early Xmas Party is back and coming up soon...
Hello Internet!
We at Mint just wanted to let you know about our most recent collaboration. This time, we're partnering with the intrepid Ketamines, who are presently preparing to tour Canada with our pals Tough Age AND piecing together a collection of four 7" records that will be released on various labels. We'll be helping them get the fourth, and maybe final in the series, out this winter.
