Minkus began in early 2002 as the brain child of songwriter and guitarist Josh Muller (Guitar, Vocals) with his good friend Tim Silva (Vocals, Guitar), in the cluttered garage of George Numair (original drummer). After a short time of revolving bassists, they found the young Cameron Clark (bass) who seemed to fit exactly what they wanted. This pop-punk quartet played with amazing chemistry as friends, but lacked a real idea of where they wanted to go with their music.
