25 minutes to go

25 minutes to go was started in the fall of 2004 by Trey, Jon, and this dude named Zack that apparently fell off the planet. they wanted to be in a regular old punk rock band that was super fun. Little did they know, their lives were about to become way more awesome. Josh Morgan joined the band and played guitar. Zack left because Josh was way radder. then Josh went to fight for our freedom in Canada. he stayed there. then Kyle joined the band and produced vocal gold and bass playing prowess. Jon became the guitar player and singer. then Zane joined the band. then Zane got really into midgets but in a way that even the most open-minded of dudes(like ourselves) couldn't hang. Zane left to be a carnie. Andy joined the band. that dude is pure rad.



in the process of all that they released two full length albums and a bunch of ep's that all rule way hard. those two full lengths are available here.

25 minutes to go is doing shit that no one else is doing and people are starting to get wise. and the stuff that they aren't making up, they're reinventing.

call it punk or metal or country or rock n roll. who cares? you wasted so much time thinking about dumb stuff you could've been getting pumped as crap.

now it's too late for you. bummer.



REVIEW:

As the guys of the band say, "25 minutes to go plays punk rock, no prefix or suffix.", and it coudn't be stated better. This is one of the few punk bands that wont dissapoint. The fun-loving energy they project from stage gets everyone dancing and chanting along, tall boy in hand. Influenced by great bands such as Social D, MxPx, Bad Religion, and the infamous Cash, they've got what it takes to captivate you and take you prisoner from the first note and make you realize just why everyone is saying "BLADOW!"

REVIEW FROM AN IDIOT WHO'S NEVER SEEN US:

25 Minutes To Go Tattooed arms. Check. Mohawks. Check. Loud, piercing music about rebellion and freedom. Check. This quartet from Lincolnton has the punk rock canon down pat as they rip through small venues meant to radiate their raw and powerful sound. In their songs “Cereal Krusher” and Hope for Sorrows,” you can certainly hear the influence of Mike Ness’ Social Distortion with the downtrodden but fast-paced guitar strumming alongside a thumping bass and drums. Inspired to name their band after a 1965 Johnny Cash cover tune, the band will keep it real and keep you involved with all of their riot-inducing chants of “hoy, hoy, hoy.” With Burning Streets, Bracing for Impact, The Dielectrics. $6-$8, The Milestone, www.themilestoneclub.com.
