1) Mineral formed in 1994 and like other young bands, they toured constantly, virtually living in their van. The band's first release, the 7 inch "Gloria"/"Parking Lot" 7", was released on Audio Concept by Kerry McDonald from Christie Front Drive (the record was later re-released by Caulfield Records). Through a few rabid fans, that 7" found its way into the hands of crank! and Mineral later decided to release their records on the label.
Their first full length The Power of Failing, was recorded in 6 days in October 1995, followed by a split 7 inch with Jimmy Eat World and Sense Field shortly after when the three bands hit the road together. Since then, Mineral has released another 7 inch ("February"/"MD") on Caulfield and songs on various compilations.
Mineral released their second full length, EndSerenading in 1998 with Mark Trombino at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, California.
Shortly after completing recording for "EndSerenading", the four members of Mineral decided to go their separate ways. Chris Simpson and Jeremy Gomez formed the Gloria Record. Gabriel Wiley and Scott McCarver were briefly in a band called Imbroco. Gabe is now in Pop Unknown. Scott was last spotted in Austin but as far as we know he doesn't have a steady rock gig these days.
The Gloria Record have split up and Chris Simpson is working on a solo project called Zookeeper.
2) Mineral is a rock band from Armenia with a career spanning over two decades. Their most recent release has been "The Donkey", which was released in 2007.
3) The name Mineral was also used by a band fronted by David Wildman in Boston in the 1980s.

Mineral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
night on my frustration and on my spite and i didn't even cry i didn't even
try to stop it at all i just stood there and watched it fall and this is the
last song that i should ever sing just one more time and i'll shut my mouth
forever.
Mineral's song "July" is a poignant piece of music that delves into the themes of anger, frustration, and helplessness. The opening lines of the song set a somber mood as the singer talks about the sun falling down on their feelings of anger, frustration, and spite. The use of the word "again" suggests that this is not an isolated incident, but rather a recurring feeling that the singer is unable to shake off. Despite the gravity of the situation, the singer admits that they didn't even cry or try to stop their emotions from overwhelming them - they simply stood there and watched it all unfold.
The chorus of the song marks a turning point as the singer proclaims that "this is the last song that I should ever sing." The line is both heartbreaking and empowering, suggesting that the singer has decided to take control of their emotions by acknowledging them through the medium of music. However, there is also a sense of finality in the line, as if the singer has resigned themselves to a lifetime of emotional turmoil.
Overall, "July" is a powerful piece of music that captures the raw emotion of feelings such as anger and frustration in a way that is both relatable and deeply moving.

This has to be one of the most heart-wrenching, tearjerking songs in Mineral's catalogue...and that's saying something.
