LANCASTER BAND SIGNS LICENSING DEAL WITH NETWORK SHOWS

LANCASTER, PA, January 14, 2008 - Independent recording artists, THE MINT, has licensed all songs from their first full-length, self-produced CD entitled "Love is Vapor," to select network television programs.

Through Tinderbox Music, a Minneapolis, MN based music licensing firm, The Mint signed licensing agreements with Road Rules (MTV), Real World (MTV), RR/RW Extreme Challenges (MTV), The Hills (MTV), Newport Harbor (MTV), My Super Sweet 16 (MTV), Human Giant (MTV), Bad Girls Club (Oxygen), and America's Psychic Challenge (Lifetime).

"It's very rewarding to know that a network like MTV, which is a trend-setter, is recognizing the band's talents and music by placing songs on some of their most popular shows," said the band's manager, Sovanna Mam. "The potential exposure is incredible."

Lead singer, Jon Decker added "It's strange and surreal that next time you see a spoiled teenager planning their party, our songs could be playing in the background." Decker is referring to the hit MTV show, My Super Sweet 16, where wealthy teenagers are planning expensive and elaborate birthday parties.

The Mint, a four-piece rock band from Lancaster, PA, released their first full-length CD "Love is Vapor," in July 2007 to national college radio stations and managed to get 250+ stations adding songs to their rotation. The success of their summer radio promotions helped land them performances with bands like Lifehouse (Geffen), The Myriad (Floodgate), and Fiction Plane (Warner). Their songs have been featured on programs on XM Radio, WQXA Harrisburg, WXPN Philadelphia and Radio 104.5fm Philadelphia.

"Love is Vapor" is currently available on iTunes and through the band's website at www.themintonline.com.
