"As if there was no other option for how these two bands [MiniBoone and Ava Luna] would sound. Right time, right people, right place. They are, after all, New York bands through and through. And, if you believe the L Magazine (or yours truly, now that I’ve seen the proof myself) they’re two of the best young bands this city has to offer. I’m looking forward to seeing where they go from here."

"MiniBoone is a breath of fresh air: The songs on their debut EP, Big Changes, burst at the seams with a frantic energy that hasn't really been prevalent around here since, god, maybe Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And in fact, there are elements of that band at play here, as well as the standard Talking Heads thing, plus maybe some early Weezer and some mid-90s post-punk. When it comes down to it, though, they're in it for the hooks, and you will be too, because they are fucking huge."

"What if Queen went lo-fi? That's Miniboone's EP Big Changes in a nutshell, [although] the New York band is a little less Liberace and a little more Talking Heads."

Radio Flyer Review, "Live: Miniboone, Quiet Loudly, the Vandelles," March 15, 2010
"Miniboone are not just a good band, they are a great one and it's concerts like this that keep me coming out to hear new bands. Sometimes it seems like there are so many bands and so few new ideas that it's not possibly worth it to keep searching. But then I find what I'm looking for - something exciting and new and real. Miniboone may not play my favorite style, but they've got something special, something 99% of Brooklyn bands don't even know they're missing. And that's worth a lot."

"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. Their debut EP, Big Changes doesn't let up for one second of its 6-song, 20-minute run time: three-part harmonies come fast and flurrious, Wire-style grooves frame hand-scribbled clap-alongs, and feverish rants spin off their axis."

"These six songs are instantaneous, songs that scream to be listened to again and again, and nag at you if you don't listen to them enough times."

Quiet Color: January 6, 2010
"One of Brooklyn’s most energetic and entertaining live bands... Their songs are catchy, with jerky, stop-start riffs that recall the best moments of post-punk icons Devo and Talking Heads, with a healthy dose of the modern indie-rock of Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah."

"The as-yet-unsigned MiniBoone used two showcases during CMJ to prove that some of the festival's best musical surprises tend to break out of bands that haven't quite reached superstar status yet. Hailing from New York City, this young quintet has only been playing together since 2008 but their tight interplay and graceful ability to share responsibility for carrying up-tempo beats and carefully balanced melodies made them shine as one of the best new acts at CMJ."

MadeLoud: MiniBoone Live @ CMJ, October 21, 2009
"After blowing up balloons and setting up a floor tom near the edge of the...well, it wasn't a stage, but on the edge of the audience, I guess, the band floored it and didn't let up for the entirety of a sweaty, tasty set of spastic art rock that was a little Talking Heads and otherwise just boundless movement. Featuring three vocalists, the five-piece twitched like a hyperactive kid who skipped his ritalin, yelping and otherwise exorcising the ghosts of dance rock's past. Balloons popped, bodies flayed, and The Boss's "Dancing in the Dark" was covered."

Radio Flyer Review: Live Review, April 27, 2009
"It's a bit unkempt for grooving pop and it's certainly noisy. There are also the delightfully ridiculous lyrics, belted out with surprising conviction, and the bodily frenzy of the band's delivery."
