Minus are a great rock band, kind of like qotsa, Their album cover has a pic of a naked fat kid on the front! Quite sick really, great tunes though!

Jesus Christ Bobby
Is a greatly underrated album. Everyone should own a copy.
^ this
It is flipping great. Its really intense, I absolutely love the vocals on that album too. It made their swerve into cock-rock territory all the more painful
yep
Totally underated!!
I would love to go see them live but no dates as yet!
Halldor Laxness was okay
But bad enough for me to take back. All the best songs were on Rock Sound comps so I wasn't too fussed. Did they have an album after that?
new
They have a new album out soon, there are some songs from it on their myspace page!
album
This is the album cover!
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i98/rocked18/minus_web.jpg
loved this band when they were about 5 years ago
all bloody safe as AND they introduced me into 'hardcore'.
i haven't looked back ;) and yeah jesus christ bobby is great
i know
I have only heard bits from their new album, do you know what the other album was called so i can check it out!
Jesus Christ Bobby (hardcore debut)
Halldor Laxness (edged away from hardcore sound)
The Great Northern Whalekill (more of Halldor Laxness-esque sound)
wrong
try
Hey, Johnny! as (hardcore debut)
pretty much hard to find
out soon here, but floating about elsewhere for ages right?
Whatever. Good band.
their last album was
halldor laxness. more rawk but still good
thanx
Will check it out, rock on!
Just found out Minus are remixing a friend of mine!
Cool!
/\ this
those three songs made you believe it was the album of the year.
especially the one on the mogwai-helicon1 one.
QOTSA?!??
Have you actualy heard their debut?
have you heard their new album?
I was going to say
Jesus Christ Bobby sounds nothing like QOTSA, but particular songs on Halldor Laxness like 'Who's Hobo' and 'Romantic Exorcism' sound alot like them. I can't speak for the latest album though.
i quite enjoyed
halldór laxness.
jesus christ bobby is, as many people have already stated, fecking intense stuff.
good though.
i also like the fact that they can never post a picture of their album cover anywhere as photobucket keeps taking it down!
yep
I know, i like a band that is not the norm and they ain't! They are way underated!
Indeed
They are just brilliant. The album is really really good. I haven't heard anything before Halldor Laxness though, that might have to be a purchase in the next week or so...
album
Do you have their new album, great northern whale kill? Is it out yet?
you can buy it from
www.smekkleysa.net
it's been out in iceland for aaaaages
cheers
It is not out in the uk yet though is it?
erm not sure!
probably not i should imagine.
although i'm sure you can find random copies on eBay or something
I like Halldor Laxness
but I remember finding Jesus Christ Bobby a bit much...possibly because when i bought it I thought I was buying Halldor Laxness - I was drunk at a gig when they supported Million Dead, I think - so it came as a bit of suprise when i played it.
h
i'm sure it did.
jcb
I got my copy of jesus christ bobby!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!
vid
Great video of a song called the long face on you tube.
Talk
Nobody wants to chat about a great band like minus?
i know their last album is coming out in the UK
through one little indian records.
i interviewed frosti
once.
he sounded like a nice guy.
wow
You interviewed him!! Wow how cool!
