Cherry Mint

Cherry Mint is the brain child of MARY CHERRY. Early in 2005 MARY realized that most songs were way too long. Feeling pressured by bedtime on school nights and the demands of micro ballers MARY knew she had to come up with a serious game plan!!!....and she did!!! She, along with seasoned studio musician MICHAEL MINT began crafting a new breed of song. Gone were the lenghty intros and repetative chorus and verse or middle eights sections. "Lets get straight to the point" stated a frustrated MARY CHERRY. Listen up as she & MINT cleverly weave their way throught intro, verse and chorus and THATS IT!! Look out RAMONES there's a new kid in town and they come armed with a bag of quick little gems that usually clock in under 60 seconds. "We were heavily influenced by Television commercials" chimes in MICHAEL MINT. Songs like "My Little Pony" and "Sleep Country Canada" soon became the yardstick in which CHERRY MINT would try and meausre up to and set thier sights. "I was walking around all day singing "Why buy a matress anywhere else" said MARY CHERRY. They knew they had hit their stride when they wrote and completed "GIRL FROM THE RING" in less than 15 minutes. They tackle subject matter like being stung by a bee and the boogieman while tipping their hat to Johnny Cash after hearing his version of Personal Jesus. The band did face adversity after breaking up over 6 times while recording the debut EP. MICHEAL MINT tells us "We had very different views and MARY CHERRY is super bossy and it took her 2 months to finish the artwork..'I was fed up" Seeking professional help the band was soon together again in the studio. The therapy sessions paid off and the finishing touches of background vocals and harmonica parts were completed with the help of freinds M ROC and C ROC. Look for a full lenghth CD already entitled WE ARE CHERRY MINT to be released once MARY CHERRY can pry herself away from her obsession with OLD NAVY and THATS SO RAVEN . "Its frustrating to watch" says MICHAEL MINT but thats where she draws her influences from and I have to be patient" The wait will be worth it...........to be continued
