Bio

Formed in January 1986, Active Minds have been active in the D.I.Y. hardcore punk scene for more than 3 decades. During that time they have released a steady stream of records and have toured Europe extensively many times, as well as playing shows in Japan, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Russia.

Formed from the ashes of S.A.S., Active Minds soon became key players in the D.I.Y. scene in the UK and across Europe at a time when an explosion of underground bands was just beginning. They set up their own label, Loony Tunes Records, to not only put out their own releases but also to support other bands – putting out more than 30 records in the 10 years from 1986 onwards.

Now in their 33rd year of continuous existence, the band show no sign of letting up and are just as active and committed as they ever were. A new 12 song 10” is already recorded for release early in 2019, with further new recordings already planned.
