The Minor Times break up


Pennsylvanian hardcore act the Minor Times have called it quits. The band's final release was Summer Of Wolves, which came out earlier this year on Prosthetic Records. The band announced their break up in the cliché Myspace blog fashion:
"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. Thanks again, The Minor Times"
