Dirtnap Records's Portland Invasion reaches new heights of super high energy insanity! THE MINDS are the hottest new punk rock buzz band to come out of PDX since THE EXPLODING HEARTS, and are probably the best live band in town! Keyboard heavy punk rock that pulls off the feat of being dangerously catchy and bouncy, but really mean soundin' and spiteful at the same time, thanks in no small part to the vocals of Joel "The-Angriest-Man-In Portland" Jett, also of THE FLIP TOPS (Robbie from THE FLIP TOPS is also on board on guitar!) A couple of incredibly widely circulated MP3's have had half the internet shitting their pants for months now, and this debut full length (11 originals and a great version of an old ADVERTS classic) will set the standards for Northwest punk rock for years to come! We've made up our MINDS, this is the best punk rock record ever! Look for vinyl courtesy of our pals at Germany's Alien Snatch Records. Look for hundreds of promos and MIND blowing full color posters to be sent to press and retail, plus insanely extensive college radio servicin' courtesy of AAM Promotions! Oh yeah, and look for 'em on tour all over the west coast in Fall '03, a European tour in Fall ’04, a single on Plastic Idol, and a split 12” EP with fellow Dirtnap band The Ends on Mortville!
