REVIEWS

'A little bit new wave; magpieing pop vigour...springy joie de vivre to A-Ha like turrets of melancholy...a profoundly smart prospect.'
The Fly Magazine

'Ones To Watch'
The Sun (Scotland)

'Album of the week: The 80’s-obsessed, synth-heavy 12 tracks on the record are perfectly in tune with the current appetite for electro-pop.’
The Dundee Evening Telegraph

‘…the most unique musical stylings to come out of 2009 so far…’
Outline Magazine

‘It’s new, it’s interesting and it is an album that I cannot stop playing…’
My Birmingham

"...hottest debut of the year" Damian Wawrzyniak - Music Around Us
Musicaroundus.co.uk

‘…the group have managed to recreate the eighties dream yet with their own miraculous modern twist…the music is scarily addictive and exhilarating!'
City Life - Manchester Evening News

'…Home Cinema…an outstanding, pulsating and fantastic debut...'
music-news.com - Georgina Littlejohn

'…Their sound is an enthralling mix of Rock and Electro, Dance and Indie. You would have to be in possession of a very low IQ indeed not to like it...'
Piers Hernu - Daily Mail

'…Something akin to Muse having a glitter fight with Shiny Toy Guns while The Killers wuss-out and watch from afar…Minus IQ have the image, the self belief and the musicianship to make a real statement in the next few years. Hell, they have already started...'
Dom Smith - Rocksound Magazine, Sphere Magazine

'...I was looking for something upbeat to have a dance to-and it was perfect. I didn't want them to finish. Those guys seriously know how to put on a good show...'
