Six Hands

Influenced by bands such as Fugazi, Battles, Bronze, Maps and Atlases, Karate and others, these three guys end up with a sound that is best described as some sort of mixture between post- and mathrock. Forging different ideas and influences into songs, Six Hands sound like happy tunes to dance to. The new 2012 EP features a move to a faster pace, yet keeping the melodies at the center of the songs.

Mineral

"Mineral" could refer to at least four bands, an emo band from Houston, Texas, Armenian rock music veterans from Jermuk and another one from Boston. 1) Mineral formed in 1994 and like other young bands, they toured constantly, virtually living in their van. The band's first release, the 7 inch "Gloria"/"Parking Lot" 7", was released on Audio Concept by Kerry McDonald from Christie Front Drive (the record was later re-released by Caulfield Records). Through a few rabid fans, that 7" found its way into the hands of crank! and Mineral later decided to release their records on the label.
