The Minke Whales Stuart Reid Bristol The Minke Whales are a Bristol five-piece formed in 2009 by Edinburgh singer songwriter Stuart Reid (formerly of Shifty Disco Record's band, Seagull Strange) and bassist Neil Hughes when they discovered their collective love of recording music in allotment potting sheds. Tales of revenge, lost love and witch hunts wrapped up in sweet melodies that blend twisted folk with Reid's grizzled Scottish vocal gruff, an English nightingale and banjo laden stomping to give them a dark and brooding intoxication. -------------------------------- The Minke Whales released their 4 track EP ’The Women of The Barrows’ in late 2014. --------------------------------- "...blessed with weight, depth and sublime melodies... quite wonderful stuff." (247 Magazine) "Ragged, literate, highly musical folk for raising barns to - and then raising the roofs of said barns... Reliable, festival-flavoured knees-uppage." (The Venue Magazine) “… virtually dripping with emotion… Reid seems to be living every syllable” (Fresh on the Net) The Minke Whales’s tracks She Never Needs to Find Out by The Minke Whales published on 2014/09/12 01:38:30 +0000 Black Holes by The Minke Whales published on 2014/09/12 01:19:06 +0000 Boulder In My Hand by The Minke Whales published on 2014/09/12 01:18:23 +0000 Banshee by The Minke Whales published on 2014/09/12 01:10:21 +0000 THE MINKES WHALES - Naked Ape by The Minke Whales published on 2013/08/07 19:03:37 +0000 After That Day by The Minke Whales published on 2013/01/31 21:27:01 +0000 THE MINKE WHALES - When The Cold Came by The Minke Whales published on 2013/01/31 21:15:13 +0000 Naked Ape by The Minke Whales published on 2013/01/22 08:10:19 +0000 The Devil by The Minke Whales published on 2011/11/23 23:02:42 +0000 11 Life Jacket by The Minke Whales published on 2011/06/04 13:29:14 +0000
