Mineral, a pivotal band in the emo genre, is officially disbanding following a farewell show at Las Vegas's Best Friends Forever Festival. Lead singer Chris Simpson reflected on the journey and expressed gratitude for the chance to conclude their musical chapter. The festival, taking place from October 10-12, features an impressive lineup, including headliners Minus the Bear and Jawbreaker, along with several other notable acts. Mineral’s impactful history includes two albums, a brief reunion in 2014, and a significant role in shaping the emo sound before their initial breakup in 1998.
"Lately we've been feeling like maybe it was done and had been adequately and organically wrapped up, but we're delighted for the opportunity to put a more thoughtful and intentional bow on what has been one of the more passionate and meaningful endeavors of our individual and collective lives."
"Though they're considered a foundational band in the emo genre, Mineral also incorporated indie-rock and post-rock into their sound during their original run, which came to an end in 1998 after releasing two studio albums."
