Pennsylvania-based THE MINOR TIMES have commented on the progress of an upcoming album, the follow up to its Prosthetic debut Making Enemies. The band commented to their mailing list members:

“Hello! You guessed it, we’re still working on the record. Think of it as several months of foreplay. We want you to be nice and wet by the time the record comes out. Our first show back as The “new” Minor Times will be in our hometown (Lansdale, PA) on Friday May 12th at the VFW. New guitarist, new lights, and new songs. Visit http://www.theminortimes.com for full details. We’re gonna do a few weekends throughout May and June by ourselves and with some friends (Engineer, The End of the Universe). Then we will hit the studio in July. This month, we will demo everything in our practice space and possibly post a song or two on http://www.myspace.com/theminortimes.”

- I don’t listen to Making Enemies nearly enough. We toss around words like “intense” or “brutal” all the time for metalcore releases but THE MINOR TIMES transcend all of that and are simply jarring…
