Minor Cabinet
Authentic rock, inspired guitar solos, energetic jams and heartfelt melodies – mix them together and you get MINOR CABINET. The young German band from Krefeld near Düsseldorf, signed to Black Penny Records in 2014 just before their debut release ‘black ink on white sheets’ hit the shelves.
This first release was so well received in the German press that the band had to hold two release concerts in their home town – such was the demand!
The band has since changed its line up as well as its musical direction and is about to release a new album – its first in 5 years in 2020.
