BIOG

Hailing from North London, Minus IQ are hitting the UK hard with their unique brand of dangerously catchy stadium-sized electronic rock. With 300+ national gigs under their belt, they continue to enthrall audiences with a live experience laden with infectious energy that's definitely not be missed.


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)

'Very epic and has that stadium show quality sound to it...'
James Theaker, NME Radio

'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...'

Alright guys :)
Really? nice one.
Im at work then unfortunately :/ i finish at 4.00 though and only work down the road from there, so if you're on last, and play an epicly long set I might be able to catch the end of it :P
Ill let the rest of the lads know, i think they'll definitely be up for it.
Are you hanging around in Newcastle afterwards or are you jetting straight off to your next gig? :P
