Faith Healer fans, the long wait is over. It's been 6 years since the band released Try ;-) and today we're happy to share that their forthcoming record The Hand That Fits The Glove is coming out October 13 on Mint!
Faith Healer quietly crystallizes on their new album The Hand That Fits The Glove, reshaping their already approachable pop sound into something even more immediate and invigorating.
We're looking forward to being back in Calgary for our annual Sled Island Showcase!
Join Mint Records on June 23 at The Commonwealth Bar + Stage from 2-6pm for performances by Faith Healer, Super Duty Tough Work, Miesha and the Spanks, Kamikaze Nurse, and Eve Parker Finley.
The show is free to attend and we're welcoming PWYC donations for Girls Rock Camp Calgary.

You know Neko Case, and you know Carolyn Mark, and we’re excited to introduce you to our latest signing, Nora Kelly Band!
Spoiler Alert!
If you are one of the millions of people watching Yellowjackets right now, you may have already spotted Necking playing the song "Big Mouth" off their debut record Cut Your Teeth at the 8:19 mark of Episode 205: Two Truths and a Lie.
Shot at Grandview Lanes on Commercial Drive, our very own Necking grabbed a few moments of screen time, appearing as the performing act at a bowling alley while their song played through the entirety of the scene.
Nora Kelly Band’s first full-length album Rodeo Clown roams the range of country-inflected styles–slow burners to foot stompers–but a theme ties it together. The painted smile of the clown, says band leader Kelly, is something she can relate to in some ways she likes–and others she is working to overcome.
Nora Kelly Band was born of friends jamming by the train tracks of Montreal’s Mile End neighbourhood. People flocked to listen and sing along–until the cops chased them off. NKB’s twist on alt-country delivers haunting harmonies, rambunctious twang, and wry lyrics–the perfect backdrop for your next tussle in the hay.
Calgary’s Miesha & The Spanks are back with a new full-length album that raises the high bar set by their 2021 Singles EP while celebrating the super-duo’s debut on Mint Records. Flaunting their affection for the wild roots of ‘70s and ‘80s rock, these ambassadors of badassery serve up a tableau of après-garage ringers that would bring The Runaways themselves charging back home.
Multi-disciplinary artist Vivek Shraya has a body of work that crosses the boundaries of music, literature, visual art, theatre, and film.
