One of the most exciting and hottest rising bands in the UK right now, sounds mint unleash their highly anticipated EP One Day We’ll Make It Out Of Here, ‘Til Then; – released via EQT Recordings.
sounds mint’s breakout year has been defined by a surge of raw, frantic singles and bold visuals that distill the next generation of British youth culture. Their momentum is undeniable, marking serious moments for an electrifying new voice crashing into wider consciousness.
A fierce, sharply observed snapshot of modern Britain, their new EP emerges raw and rebellious as a blistering call-to-action leads the charge. Embodying the mundane and absurdism of London living, alongside the disorientation of a generation burdened by isolation, escapism, lust, and a dysfunctional government, the rising outfit embraces a newfound pursuit to disrupt the system, giving a voice to the collective frustration simmering in the chaos. With Kelvin (frontman), Rudy
(drummer), Robbie (lead guitarist) and Layla (bassist), sounds mint plant their flag with conviction – One Day We’ll Make It Out Of Here, ‘Til Then; isn’t just an EP; it’s a moment of resilience and authority in the face of broken social, political, and classist narratives across the UK and beyond.
Laced with highly infectious soundwaves spanning rock, indie, and post-punk, the band’s abrasive edge is sharper, elevating the frantic instrumentation and quick-witted lyricism running from blunt and sardonic to furious and inspired. The breezy opener “1984” instantly stakes their claim – Kelvin’s hazy vocals expressing the outdated, debt-disillusion of society before the incendiary focus track takes control. Through the hollow idolization of those who inherit influence and luxury, tracks like “Where’s Wally” and “Sick Note” highlight the deep-rooted class divide corrupting the landscape.
Speaking on One Day We’ll Make It Out Of Here, ‘Til Then;, frontman Kelvin states: “It’s a mantra that came to me when thinking about the period of life we were in whilst making this record. Felt like a perfect name. A lot of hunger, a lot of persistence and a lot of love. I think the main thing is that we know we’re gonna be massive one day, but either way we don’t give a fuck because we love this shit regardless of how big we are and will continue to do it regardless. That’s what the “‘Til Then;” signifies, that one day we’re gonna make it but til then we’ll just crack on business as usual, gig by
gig, tune by tune.”
Conceived in 2021 before their official inception in 2022, the group’s unorthodox, wild approach has imprinted their signature live sound on an international scale. Having been in previous bands in their late teens, Kelvin and Rudy connected through a love for the creative arts, naturally embracing creativity as an outlet for self-expression which eventually formed the foundations of sounds mint’s ethos. After linking with Robbie and Layla, they finally found their voice, combined with desperation to share a message with the world – establishing a rebellious force against authority, and the youth-led spark to break boundaries across social, political and creative spaces.
