boring by the sea festival 2008

"we were eating pop tarts in a small log cabin in L.A when suddenly an earth quake struck and we became stranded and trapped in the log cabin for months..........in that time we formed a band and made our instruments from icecream tubs, elastic bands, empty pringle tubs and bottles of dr.pepper..... Thankfully we survived by drinking our own urine and catching clumsy moles......now free and back in the U.K we play beautiful tunes to over come the stressful time in L.A.................so far we have supported lots of great talent.

Minotaur Explode are a rock band from Dorset, England, formed in 2007. Their sound is a meeting of minds based on the members different musical influences. Main songwriter Rob Kelsalls roots lie in rock, his songs being heavily influenced by the likes of Reuben, Weezer and Oceansize, whereas frontman Olly Goodland’s vocal style has been inspired by the post-hardcore he grew up loving, such as Glassjaw, At The Drive-In and Refused. The combination of these 2 influences creates a crossover sound, which combines classic melodic rock songs with energetic and more abrasive vocals.
