A Decade In, Passaic County Band Releases its Inner ‘Minotaur’

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Quality Living

In Greek mythology, a minotaur is a monster with the body of a man, the head of a bull, and the tail of a serpent. Quality Living, from Ringwood in Passaic Country, released its self-titled debut in 2016, followed it up with Softly Caught Me in 2020, and is readying its Glacier for release next month. But first we have “Minotaur,” an indie-rock gem from guitarist Darrell Norrell, singer Chris Fox, bassist Nick Sardone, drummer Chris Mulinos and Chris Palmisano on pedal steel.
