Mint Green is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.[2][3][4] The band is fronted by singer and guitarist Ronnica, with Daniel Huang on drums, and Tiffany Sammy on bass.[5]
History
[edit]Growing up, Ronnica listened to Lauryn Hill and Billie Holiday in her dad’s car out of his custom speakers from his home island of Anguilla. Her mother was a singer who enjoyed soft rock and found herself at odds with Ronnica and her brother, as they loved louder groups like Korn and Linkin Park. As a teenager, Ronnica played in various rock bands.[6]
In 2015, right after Ronnica graduated high school, she made a Craigslist posting seeking a drummer for a new project, which is where she found Huang.[7] Mint Green was the first band Ronnica played in where she was lead vocalist and front-woman. The band was named for Ronnica’s favorite color which she has described as, “not too loud, not too soft” like their music.[8][9]
In November 2017, after just one EP release, the band was approached at a show by 6131 Records about a record deal.[10] This caused two members of the band to drop out, realizing they weren’t prepared for this level of commitment to the project.[11]
Mint Green released two independent self-funded EPs before being signed to Pure Noise Records[12][13] and releasing their first full-length LP, All Girls Go to Heaven, in 2022.[14][15][11]
In 2023, Mint Green played Boston Calling Music Festival's Sunday date on a lineup with Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.[16][17][18]
In 2025, the band headlined the Rat City Arts Festival with other local groups, including Tiberius, and Shallow Pools.[19][20][21]
