"Dancey & direct; very impressive stuff" - Artrocker
"Right now we're loving Busy Hands" - NME

Since they began playing live last year, Leicester's math rock/pop quintet Minnaars have already notched up shows all over the UK and in Europe. Produced by Forward Russia's Tom Woodhead, their brand of incessantly catchy, dark-disco-electro-rock fuses pop-orientated, intricate polyrhythms with floor-shuddering dance beats and has garnered them attention from every aspect of the music industry.
 
The band is signed to Rimeout Records (Japan) and Hip Hip Hip (France).
 
With pending releases in Japan and Europe, numerous UK Festival appearances last year (inc. Reading & Leeds and Summer Sundae), a European tour and praise being heaped upon them by Radio 1, Xfm, NME and even Gavin and Stacey star Mat Horne, it seems they really are the genuine ones to watch in the next twelve months.
 
Here's some nice words other people have written about Minnaars:
 
"...Dancey and direct; very impressive stuff" - Artrocker
 
"...The Hottest property to come out of Leicester since Kasabian" - Radio 1
 
"...Right now we're loving Busy Hands" - NME
 
"...What track would I play right now? - "Busy Hands" by Minnaars - XFM
 
"...Last year was all about White Lies. My tip for this year is Minnaars" - Mat Horne
 
"...What sets Minnaars apart is that they have the tunes and the bravery. Comparisons with Foals, due to a fixation with the bottom 12 frets, I suspect, are wide of the mark. The overly-focused sound of the Oxford indie-math band's debut Antidotes pales in contrast this. This EP focuses on innovative music which makes you dance, revere and ponder in equal measures..."- A Box of Words 
 
"...I'm exhausted just listening..." - Jo Whiley, Radio 1
 
"As the local lads done good, Minnaars manage to create a flurry of excitement that for thirty minutes on Saturday afternoon turns Victoria Park into one sun-drenched dancefloor" - DIS - Summer Sundae 2009
