Break-ups: The Minor Times (2001-2007)

Posted by aubin on Friday, December 7, 2007 at 5:00 PM (EST)

Pennsylvania-based hardcore act The Minor Times have called it a day. The band, who issued material on Level Plane and Prosthetic made the announcement:

We're sad to announce today that the band is coming to an end. No bad blood or anything of that nature was involved in this decision; it's simply time for us to move on. We'd like to thank everyone who was kind enough to support us through this amazing six year run. The last two songs we wrote as a band will be available early next year via a split 12" with Rosetta on Relapse Records. We'll also be playing one final show in our hometown of Lansdale, PA. Details for that should follow shortly.

The band released Making Enemies in 2004 and their final record, Summer of Wolves, this year.

i love how every day there's a story about some hardcore band breaking up, and every day, i wonder who the fuck the band was and what they are doing still posting news about these bands, because there are never more than 10 replies and at least 9 of those replies are usually asking who the fuck the band was in the first place anyways.

in other words, "please stop posting news about bands i may not have heard of. i would only like to be exposed to news about bands i already know. bands i'd like more news coverage of include, but are not limited to: against me, fallout boy, dillinger escape plan, bad religion, etc."

Creative production, awesome artwork, interesting chords/rhythms, incredible vocal work...
This band was a nice change of pace in a scene seemingly dominated by breakdown-metalcore clones. Proof that a band can be heavy without double-kicks.

I'm surprised more hardcore kids didn't know these guys. I saw them in a garage in Lubbock TX, and later @ Rubber Gloves in Denton TX. They actually cancelled their last tour through Denton this year. Damn. These guys KILLED it live.

Go listen to "The Pugilist At Work" and you'll dig these guys in no time....
