Band Name Origins:

  • The Minutemen were actually named after an ultra-conservative American terrorist group that mailed bomb threats to radicals during the 60's. This is contrary to the urban legend that they were named after their musical brevity. Submitted by: Cameron
  • Once interveiwed, Mike Watt explained the band title as an allusion to the fabled revolutionary army of the Apalachians. It was a reference to the unrelenting intensity to which they held their ideals and their readyness to deffend those ideals. (Or something like that) -Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life -a kickass book Submitted by: slam voncramer
