The Minx are cheeky. Averaging at 19 years old, the 5 piece band aim to create a stir. By naming their album in unforgiving satire after Mancunian artists The Courteeners, they’re sure to win a few fans throughout the city.

Their single, “Cool as a Courteener”, was up for release at the end of July with copies available at gigs and through their online shop.

Their superb 11 track debut, mastered at Blueprint Studios in Salford, includes the catchy “This Is England” and the riotous “We Both Shagged The Same Bird” and “Shady Bastard”. Need we say more?

They’ve supported The Inspiral Carpets in previous guises and have come together to form The Minx.

The next few months host some great shows for The Minx, who still have more up their sleeve yet to come.
