Ministri Essentials

In the mid 2000s, Ministri stepped onto Milan’s music scene with a daring sense of sartorial style—and a sly nod to the inevitable struggles they would meet on the road to pursuing their shared creative passion: each physical copy of their debut album came with a one-euro coin, a rueful reference to consumerism and the record industry. Since then, the eccentric rock trio have toured Europe, opened for Coldplay and perfected their distinctive brand of gritty guitar-driven rock—at times euphoric, at others cathartic, but always defined by sonic clarity and crisp lyrical precision.
