i discovered spearmint when triplej in australia played 'left alone among the living' (to death!) a couple of years back. bought that album and fell in love. since bought all the rest. sadly underrated and under supported, shirley and the guys are just brilliant. great players, great arrangements, and lyrics well beyond the usual pop crap. do yourself a favour and check out 'left alone' as your first spearmint track. you'll love it (or your money back).
