Spearmint is a London-based indie pop band, founded in 1995. Their founding members were Shirley Lee (lead vocals, guitar), Simon Calnan (vocals, keyboards), Martin Talbot (bass) and Ronan Larvour (drums). Talbot left soon afterward, to be replaced by James Parsons. Dickon Edwards later ended up joining as second guitarist, though leaving in 2000 to form Fosca. Spearmint have released six albums and many singles, all on their own label, hitBack, having a minor success with 1997's Sweeping The Nation. Spearmint's sound can be said to be classic British guitar pop, with some Northern Soul influences.
