Hours and Minutes

race against time

About Me

No artists were directly hurt by the making of this band and these songs. However, being from the generation of illegal downloads and ipods our attention span and influences are possibly warped. Our favourite other artist section would have to include Rage Against the Machine, Mos Def, Incubus, Muse, Lyrics Born and many others of this ilk that would suggest that Hours and Minutes are definitely genre defying; as far as we are aware rhyme and rock have never been crossed before. Hours and Minutes are a fully functioning rock and roll 4 piece as of October 2008. This includes a real working rhythm section aptly named Joon and Roon who play real instruments with their hands and fingers. Like a good pint of Guiness time is being taken to let the band settle and grow organically until it is ready to decimate London's live music scene in 2009. UPDATE: New tracks to be uploaded very soon. We are currently working on an EP; sifting through ideas. The tracks are sounding funkier and fresher in everyway. Watch this space!
