"Minority is a 'heavy' band based out of the Los Angeles area in the suburbs of Downey, California originally formed in fall of 2013. What started out as a means of playing cover songs, evolved into an obsession with music. The group consists of Drummer Xavier Garcia, Guitarist Jesse 'Mr. Portillo' Portillo, and bassist/vocalist Matthew Martinez. During the fall of 2019, the band released their first single entitled 'Dread', followed by the raw in your face styled 'Clueless Manikins - EP' in spring of 2020, giving fans a retrospective look into the early days of the band. With the pandemic putting a halt on the entire world, the band took the opportunity to head into the studio to record a follow up. Fueled by frustration with the current state of music, the band makes a statement with 'Enemies To The Heir - EP', capturing a cathartic representation of the band’s take no prisoners mentality." - From Minority's youtube page
I caught Minority at Shady Moose Ranch along with six other bands on June 4th, but Minority really stuck with me the most that night. Absolutely killer performance even after Martinez's equipment malfunctioned. It pains me to say that this EP doesn't really do them justice, but they are releasing an album this year that I hope captures the utter manic energy of their live performance.
