For years the sound of The Minutes blew through Dublin like a hurricane. Cousins Mark Austin and Shane Kinsella have played together since childhood, terrorizing the lives of people in search for peace and quiet. After somewhere in the noughties bass player Tom Cosgrave was recruited the band was ready to roll. And Ireland knew! Cojones the size of cartwheels and the horsepower to deliver. Channeling the primal surge of rampant garage rock n roll with elements of blues and gospel. The band used Johnny Marr, Thin Lizzy and Lenny Kaye's album as a source of inspiration. The Minutes were soon widely known as the ultimate live band. They played always, everywhere and superbly. Their famous live sound was captured in a 5 day recording session at Marcata studios in New York, hence the album title Marcata. UK Magazine Artrocker called them 'the greatest rock n roll band in Dublin'. What more is there to say? The three hoarse-men of the apocalypse!
