Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.
I got a friend request today from The Minority, a four piece band from Belfast who seem to be growing a substantial following on MySpace.
Their music is best described as psychedelic rock - thick harmonies, reverb and tremolo guitar effects and slow, shuffling beats. The band say their aim is to beat the musical mediocrity that has taken over the industry.
Bizarrely, the members of the band were all born without surnames, so we can only know them by their first names: Tim is guitarist/vocalist, Al plays bass, sings and plays strings (which give a nice dimension to the music without ever sounding like The Corrs). Rick is the lead guitarist and Kenny is the guy who keeps the beat. C’mon guys, get some surnames!
The Minority cite their influences as being bands like Radiohead and Elbow, and songwriters like Nick Drake and David Kitt.
There are three great tracks online now: Empty City, Give Me Time and Know Your Enemies. I particularly like Empty City - quite a haunting track which makes good use of Al’s talents on violin and has a brilliant (slide?) guitar running through it.
Magic. Be sure to check them out - The Minority.
