Spinner Mp3 of the Day, November 23, 2011

NBC New York Band of the Week, July 12, 2011

Brooklyn Ski Club, November 18, 2010
“There’s an obvious Talking Heads influence but way less arty and way more party.”

Guest of a Guest, October 25, 2010

Crushable, Interview, October 20, 2010

NPR All Songs Considered, July 7, 2010
“Joyous power-pop with unpredictable twists and turns.”

Flavorpill, “Flavorpill Fix Episode One,” May 17, 2010

Absolute Punk, Big Changes Album Review, April 21, 2010
“Inarguably potent, undeniably frenetic and laden with hooks a plenty.”

The L Magazine, “8 NYC Bands You Need to Hear,” March 31, 2010
“MiniBoone is a breath of fresh air: The songs on their debut EP, Big Changes, burst at the seams with a frantic energy… they’re in it for the hooks, and you will be too, because they are fucking huge.”

Ampeater Review, March 25, 2010
“Exuberant, spontaneous… [MiniBoone] excels at packaging remarkable musical complexities into feverishly catchy pop songs.”

Fingertips, February 10, 2010
“Energetic, crisply executed fun, filled with rhythmic dissonance, echoes of 1978-ish American new wave music, and large-scale harmonies falling somewhere on a line connecting Queen to Sparks.”

Village Voice, “Yes in My Backyard: MiniBoone,” February 9, 2010
“Taut New York five-piece MiniBoone are an enchanting mesh of old-school energy and new-school melody. The band mixes the dervish energy of ’78-era post-punk with the super-hooks of modern indie-pop–think Buildings And Food-era Talking Heads if David Byrne could travel back in time and tell himself about Arcade Fire.”

Muzzle of Bees: Interview with MiniBoone: November 2, 2009
“Delectably fun… loud, righteous… shit was crazy.”
