Feral Minks

Feral Minks

Kitchener based rock band Feral Minks started out as a solo project during the height of the pandemic formed by lead singer and guitarist Kent Merriam. By early 2021 he had released his first EP "Loam" under the Feral Minks moniker which caught the attention of Jay Emmons of The Glorious Sons. Soon after they began work on Feral Minks second EP with Emmons and long time co-conspirator Steve Kirstein at the helm of production while the Minks rounded out their lineup with seasoned veterans of the Kitchener rock scene Algernon Friolet, Jay Hogle and Ryan Whitney. 

Following the release of their debut self titled EP in fall 2003 the Minks have hit the gas and not let up. 2024 has seen the boys winning HTZ FM’s coveted Rock Search following in the footsteps of Canadian greats Finger 11, The Trews and The Glorious Sons. They’ve played alongside City and Colour  at Tall Pines Music and Arts Festival and will be releasing their sophomore EP “Young Desire” this fall alongside their first headline tour which will hit 12 markets throughout South Eastern Ontario.
