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 sound waves 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 The breezy opener “1984” instantly stakes their claim – Kelvin’s hazy vocals expressing the outdated, debt-disillusion of society before the incendiary focus track takes control.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 idolisation of those who inherit influence and luxury, tracks like “Where’s Wally” and “Sick Note” highlight the deep-rooted class divide corrupting the landscape.
Following a community activation in Shoreditch earlier this year, which saw the band host a football tournament with UK artists bby, Peter Xan and more, sounds mint teamed up with City Harvest London, Brixton Soup Kitchen, and Feast With Us UK in support of “Tin” – highlighting ways we can donate and support food charities in London. Living their community-first ethos, sounds mint stand ready to shine a light on vital organisations making a daily difference.

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. I don’t sugarcoat my lyrics at all and I don’t believe in having random words for the sake of melody. This world is too fucking nuts to just chat shit. The instrumentals that we created feel as intense as the subject matter of the tunes, so I’m really happy to be in a sick band and to be able to produce such a huge dirty sound together both on stage and in studio and I think this record really reflects that. ” 
Layla adds: “This project brings together some of our favourite songs we’ve created over the past couple years and delves into a range of sounds that identify us as a band. We’re lucky to get to work with some amazing producers who all bring their influences into play as well. A notable mention for me would be ‘Incel Saviour’ . Kelvin and I wrote that very late night or early morning rather, after everyone had gone home. I’d gone into it saying I wanted to write a one-note bass line and while it starts off like that it definitely picks up in the chorus. It kind of got shelved for a while until one day we listened back to the old tracks and Fin, the singer of STONE happened to be in the studio. As soon as he heard it he asked if he could put a verse on it and from there we reworked it and brought the song to life. ” 
When asked about the EP’s formation, Rudy explains it as: “A cohesive mismatch of home production, studio sessions and writing rooms. From using my MPC to make the drums for ‘Tin’ … feeling like J Dilla, or the groove for ‘Zombies’ coming from being bored, waiting for Kelvin to turn up at the studio. I like to mix live drums with production and samples. Or mostly whatever is available to make the song at that time. ‘Sick Note’ was made when I was at work, I got there at the end of the day and did the drums in basically one take. A raw energetic sound that worked well with the situation and lyrical context. Offering a contrast to the slightly more produced drum sounds of the EP overall. It’s a mindset of hope along with angst and general feelings of societal reflection run prominently through the music. A second chapter in our story where seeds start to sprout. ”
