"Jay II" Coming Soon From Jay Arner!!

Hello! We’ve been holding back our excitement, but now we finally get to announce the latest addition to the Mint catalogue: Jay II.

Jay II is music for outsiders who might not want to be insiders. Sophisticated synth-pop for sensitive types or existential glam-rock for the unsettled. These songs are the soundtrack to fitting in, finding your place in the world of suffering, and finally coming to terms with yourself.

Announcing: CiTR Pop Alliance, Vol. 4!!

We're super excited to announce that on Friday, February 26, Vancouver campus radio station CiTR 101.9FM and Mint Records will team up once again to release the fourth installment of the Pop Alliance series!! Showcasing the city’s dynamic local music scene, 11 Vancouver bands, including Mourning Coup, Stefana Fratila, Poor Form, and more have been enlisted to fill the album’s waxy grooves. This compilation arrives just in time to raise funds for local campus/community radio station CiTR, as part of their annual Fundrive, which runs from February 25 to March 4.

Mint at Halifax Pop Explosion 2015!

Hot Toddy! It's that time of year again when we pack up our rain slicker and cart it across the dry Canadian landscape 'til we reach the opposite drizzling shore. That's right, Mint's headed coast to coast from Vancouver to Halifax for a little something known as Halifax Pop Explosion! If you haven't heard of the 22 year old festival, it's probably time you learned because it's a personal favourite of ours.

We're Heading to Sled Island!

Alright, I'll admit it: we've been a bit spoiled this year with the weather in Vancouver since it's been feeling like summer for a month already. Meanwhile, it sounds like some parts of the country just got rid of that pesky white stuff, so put away your toboggans because summer will be in full swing by the time Sled Island rolls around. To celebrate, we’re throwing the annual and amazingly awesome Mint Records Day Party, a FREE party at Commonwealth Bar & Stage on June 26!
