BAND
The Minority is a rock/punk-rock group founded in 2019 and located in Central Europe. Their music is mainly a mix of genres like California rock and punk-rock, but it also stretches a little bit towards rock’n’roll, folk and country. The group has now members: Peter Jarábek (guitar, vocals), Michal Jarábek (bass, backing vocals), Alex Oplt (drums).
Their most recent one-off single is in Slovak language and called "Na okraji mesta". It was also supported by a videoclip with a summer sunset vibe among typical concrete buildings of the district Petržalka in the group's home town Bratislava. Other releases in English feature one-off singles "One Of A Kind", "Get It All" and "Let It Be Sunday" supported also by lyric videos. These tunes even more represent that energetic, melodical and “california punk” influenced music that’s so typical for this powerful trio. The summer season 2026 is mainly about touring around Slovakia and Czech republic, but also working on new songs for the upcoming album.
