Their debut album, &#8216;Dirty Rainbow&#8217; and their energetic performance style saw them ranked by Glide Magazine as one of the top 20 must see bands to see at this year&#8217;s SXSW Festival. With influences from the psych scenes of LA, Austin, and Nashville, their sound is quite a refreshing combination of &#8220;dingy garage rock and West Coast surf, all delivered via an infamously aggressive live performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;Don&#8217;t Try To Lie To Me&#8217;, directed by Dez Wilson, along with frontman Jake Wittig, pulls in elements from 1960s psych culture and combines them with candy-coloured aggressive punk. The trio of Wittig, bassist Ahmad Farzad, and percussionist Ryan Colebeck, walk slowly towards the viewer in bright white suits, while paint is splashed at them in bright hues. All the while, Wittig sings to camera, staring down the lens and then screaming while more and more paint (at time getting into his eyes) is tossed on the trio. The video is incongruous &#8211; all this is happening on a country road with a church in the background, a situation nobody would ever expect to encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about The Burning Peppermints online on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theburningpeppermints.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/burningmints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBurningPeppermints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theburningpeppermints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
