Minotaur Explode are a rock band from Dorset, England, formed in 2007. Their sound is a meeting of minds based on the members different musical influences. Main songwriter Rob Kelsalls roots lie in rock, his songs being heavily influenced by the likes of Reuben, Weezer and Oceansize, whereas frontman Olly Goodland’s vocal style has been inspired by the post-hardcore he grew up loving, such as Glassjaw, At The Drive-In and Refused. The combination of these 2 influences creates a crossover sound, which combines classic melodic rock songs with energetic and more abrasive vocals.
