Super Minotaur

“Thug Killings,” a track where lines like “come at me bro” address cultural violence, and the drug references are as tongue-in-cheek as it gets. This isn't to say these lo-fi punks are somehow profound, but the self-aware immaturity does come off as charming if you're in the right mood. Then again, an EP called Hawaii Pee probably isn't for everybody. - Refinery29

"Much like the music itself the video is very much so a DIY affair.... a bizarre yet tongue-in-cheek portrait of a shark funeral.... some water, some fire, and strangely enough some blood shed as well. Dig on it...." - Portals Music

Hopefully, Super Minotaur will come East and play some shows in NYC at some point in the not-too-distant future. - Gimme Tinnitus

"Werewolf" is a ripper with a great guitar riff, but it reminds me more of 50s surf movies than of John Landis's classic 80s horror-comedy. - Chicago Reader

Taken from their upcoming Hawaii Pee EP, Chicago area based three piece Super Minotaur’s “Thug Killings” crystallizes this phenomenon as a thoroughly self-aware mix of dead pan exposition and sensationalist anecdotes of drugs, violence, and machismo slogans. It’s a little bit 60 Minutes and way more rock and roll. The big drum rolls and just-so distorted guitar melodies smack of a mid-90s malaise signal that this track, just like its distant gangster rap cousins, is quintessentially party music and the who gives a shit attitude that motivates the track makes it as fun as it could be overly heavy. So, party on and such. - International Tapes

Straight outta South Bend, IN comes the “80's hardcore meets beach pop” of Super Minotaur. Cold Slice Cassettes (of Chicago) recently released the self-titled cassette which has 9 tracks and only lasts 19 minutes. - Gimme Tinnitus

New Chicago/South Bend trio Super Minotaur recently posted a free demo of sloppily fuzzed-out punk on their Bandcamp page, and they've already found a fan in Odd Future and Wavves PR rep Heathcliff Berru! Logan Square/Humboldt Park label Cold Slice Cassettes will release their debut full-length, Dead Dino, on Tue 3/20. - Chicago Reader

There’s a certain early 90s alternative pop rock desperation lying somewhere underneath all that fuzz. The vocals nearly disappear in the mix, but what you do hear bleeds a certain sarcasm that heavily reminds me of Bruce McCulloch of Canadian comedic quartet Kids in the Hall. The end result is only fit for plenty of slam-dancing. - Loud Loop Press

"While it’s the proven song structures and unbeatable riffs that are responsible for the entertainingly vicious bits that make you want to start a pit of one in your living room, there’s also an interesting power-pop-taken-back-into-the-garage dynamic here." - Impose Magazine

If someone remade Repo Man or Return of the Living Dead tomorrow, Super Minotaur self-titled would have a track or two on the soundtrack. - Impose Magazine

"Super Minotaur fuel the sunny, fuzzy surf-pop songs on their debut full-length, Dead Dino, with the speed and adrenaline of hardcore punk." - Chicago Reader
