Msn.com Best of CMJ 2009
"The as-yet-unsigned MiniBoone used two showcases during CMJ to prove that some of the festival's best musical surprises tend to break out of bands that haven't quite reached superstar status yet. Hailing from New York City, this young quintet has only been playing together since 2008 but their tight interplay and graceful ability to share responsibility for carrying up-tempo beats and carefully balanced melodies made them shine as one of the best new acts at CMJ."

"After blowing up balloons and setting up a floor tom near the edge of the...well, it wasn't a stage, but on the edge of the audience, I guess, the band floored it and didn't let up for the entirety of a sweaty, tasty set of spastic art rock that was a little Talking Heads and otherwise just boundless movement.
Featuring three vocalists, the five-piece twitched like a hyperactive kid who skipped his ritalin, yelping and otherwise exorcising the ghosts of dance rock's past. Balloons popped, bodies flayed, and The Boss's "Dancing in the Dark" was covered."
Agreeing with this too much would seem narcissistic!
