Mineral is an American emo band originally from Houston, Texas. Soon after their formation, they relocated to Austin. All four members of Mineral were signed to Interscope Records, but disbanded before a release was made. The band worked on other musical projects after disbanding, including The Gloria Record, Pop Unknown, Zookeeper, and Mountaintime.

In 2010, a compilation CD of all the band's songs (except for "Sadder Star") was released in Japan, entitled TheCompleteCollection.

Mineral announced a reunion tour on April 24, 2014.[1][2] In 2019, the band celebrated their 25th anniversary with two new songs titled "Aurora" and "Your Body Is The World", a retrospective book, and by going on tour.[3] On September 25, 2021, the band performed at Furnace Fest 2021 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Ron DePasquale of AllMusic said "[Mineral's] shaping of the indie rock landscape cannot be overstated".[4]
