All Minds Related formed in December of 2004. After only five exciting rehearsals their 14-track debut album "Entity" began production. Released in July of 2004, Entity has enabled All Minds Related to not only gain support for live shows but to determine the direction of the band’s sound. The process of molding each member’s style into a cohesive unit in such a short time resulted in an album full of expansive passages and distinctive structures. The writing of the album was hysterical, enlightened and full of surprises resulting from each of the members reaching into themselves to craft rhythms and progressions previously un-thought. The band grew so much in such a short period of time that they never had to speak about what type of sound they wanted, the entire band operating on a separate unconscious plane, embracing each other’s thoughts truly becoming All Minds Related. The live songs have perhaps grown from the early album’s renditions but Entity’s songs remain the initial offerings. They are beginning to sell out of the first press of 1000 copies.

Currently playing a few shows a month, their local fans never have to wait too long before the next show but they are looking to break into new receptive audiences to increase their following. With each passing show All Minds Related professionalism trumps itself pushing past boundaries and honing their live act. Be sure to catch the latest show because every one is superior to the last. With their live shows continuing to apex, All Minds Related shows no signs of slowing down. When booking All Minds Related, expect a dedicated group of professionals who take their art to the level of absolute precision.
