"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.
AVAST! are an indie-rock three piece from Dundee, Scotland originally consisting of Nico Weststeijn, Andrew Cook and Donald Smart. Notably, two members of the group also play in fellow Scottish band Stapleton and share a few similarities in their melodic, multi-tempo assault. Recently their lineup has also seen Gregor Philp (who currently also plays in Deacon Blue) join their ranks. Their music is sometimes likened to bands such as Red Animal War, Spy Vs Spy and Braid.
