The band originally started in 1997. They first specialized in remixes, and became known after the release of their mix of "Tequila", by Terrorvision. They were championed by British dance guru Norman Cook, whose DJ sets regularly included their work. Their sound was similar to his, to the extent that some people mistakenly believed Mint Royale to be a pseudonym for Cook himself. Their first album, On the Ropes was released in late 1999, and though it was not a big sales hit, some songs from it have achieved recognition. The single "Don't Falter", featuring Lauren Laverne from Kenickie, was a minor hit in the British charts. The song "From Rusholme with Love" has been made recognisable through its extensive use in film and television series soundtracks. Notable examples include the theme tune for the film Kung Pow! Enter The Fist, as well as being present on the soundtrack of the films Vanilla Sky, Get Carter, Serendipity and the television series ALIAS and Spaced.

Singin' In The Rain
Mint Royale Lyrics
My God, you fly thousands of miles to get some sun
And it's rainin' cats and dogs!
Typical tropical, I go on vacation and Mother Nature gives up on me
Yeah, what a lady
Thanks for at least sendin' it down pre-heated!
Doesn't seem to bother the natives, though
Back home it gets no one laughin', and here they even sing to it
Must be some voodoo rain chant or somethin', humph!
And it sure sounds familiar, oh well
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
I'm singin', just singin' in the rain
Let it rain all day
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain
Let it rain all day
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds, so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, got a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
I am singin' and dancin' just getting wet in the rain
Let it rain all day
Buckets of sunshine that bring me your love
Buckets of sunshine that bring me your love
Let it rain all day, I love the rainy day
We got sunshine, everyday
