Minimal Impact started in Leeds in 1999 with the “Lowest Common Denominator” LP which was recorded by Armley jail in Leeds in the morning between 7am and 9am only June/July 1999. With a move down to Brighton came gigs in Brighton as part of the “Spirit Of Gravity” and a second LP "Make Sure Its Shut" which is a bit more chilled out in comparison. More of the same to come some quiet some loud some noisy.
