| About wafer thin mints |
|
Described as " Roots Inspired Pop" - The Wafer thin Mints sound cuts across rock ,urban folk, country , and power pop with a tip of the hat to that lost genre, Pub Rock. Their first album, " The Finest Car They Ever Built in 1983" launched the band on to the Canadian music scene propelled along by the single "Hot Chevette " . The album received extensive airplay on CKUA and made it into the top 50 of the stations top 100 albums of 2006.
2007 saw the Mints playing shows across Alberta to enthusiastic response from audiences at clubs and festivals . The bands live show quickly gelled into an appealing musical combination of variety , spontaneity, humour, and energy. The market for The Wafer thin Mints music has been narrowed down to aggressive, tattooed punk rock fans sporting Ramones T-shirts , soccer moms and their kids , and the elderly.
The Wafer thin Mints are working on their second album and will be on tour again in 2008 . Look for them wherever fine music is performed.
