Track: Turbulence
Why We Like It: Once again Mint knock it out of the park with their rampant, stuffy and exhilarating sound. The band whirlwind into a neck snapping frantic run from the get go with jabbing drums clammering through a fuzz fuelled backdrop while the chorus swivels around acid eroding guitar lines. The track is hinged around the infectious vocal hook “this is your captain speaking / Never forget this feeling” as the vocal exclaim grabs your mind with force until your singing along by the second chorus. ‘Turbulence’ is a intoxicating, punk-punched, grunge-smeared alternative track from Mint.
