Mintzkov is a Belgian indie rock band that has been capturing audiences with their distinctive sound since the early 2000s. Originally formed under the name 'Mintzkov Luna' in Antwerp, Belgium, the group quickly made a name for themselves in the Belgian music scene with their compelling blend of rock dynamics and melodic craftsmanship. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist and guitarist Philip Bosschaerts, bassist Lies Lorquet, guitarist Daan Scheltjens, drummer Min Chul Van Steenkiste, and keyboardist Pascal Oorts. They gained considerable attention after winning the prestigious Humo's Rock Rally contest in 2000.

Over the years, Mintzkov has refined their style, transitioning from their earlier, more raw indie rock vibes to a more mature, nuanced sound with expansive arrangements and textured sonics. Their evolution is chronicled through a series of critically acclaimed albums, including "M for Means and L for Love" (2003), the robust, intricate "360º" (2007), and "Rising Sun, Setting Sun" (2010), which showcases their knack for creating atmospheric soundscapes alongside infectious hooks. Continuing to push their creative boundaries, the group released "Sky Hits Ground" in 2013. Their latest work, "Oh Paradise" (2020), denotes another chapter in Mintzkov's career, delivering a fresh assortment of tracks that dive deep into the band's exploration of melody and engaged storytelling, solidifying their status as stalwarts of the European music scene.
