Two Minutes Hate

Formed from the ashes of various Nottingham / Derby projects, Two minutes Hate began life as a few musicians, all relative strangers sharing a hunger to make music. The group went through the usual initial teething problems, recruiting the right guitarist proving particularly difficult.

This aside, eventually what was thought to be a permanent line-up was formed and writing began full-time. The group compiled a list of material they were happy with which reflected their musical desires at the time and then began the hard slog of full-time gigging.

Working flat-out, Two Minutes Hate spent their first year gigging constantly, building an impressive list of colleagues and experiences. All the while over that first year the band bonded and became close friends, sharing ups and downs along the way.

Eventually things changed and after 18 months, an EP release and an ever increasing fan base, the group met to take stock of their efforts. It was decided that the current direction was drifting from the original plan and for the sake of the music, the integrity of the members and the love of doing it, things had to move on.

In 2008 Two Minutes Hate ended up parting ways with Vocalist Alex Rozynski. The band decided to continue however and set about taking Two Minutes Hate where they wanted it to go. Not long after, a management deal was signed with Total Annihilation. This proved to be a cruicial move and very quickly the Annihilation team became part of the TMH family.

Shortly after Annihilation were onboard, new Vocalist Sid Strange was found. Sid had been a bass player for a local band and had been struggling internally with a desire to sing. He auditioned and his talents were very quickly realised and so he was promptly snatched up by the band.

Now as they enter 2009, TMH are on the brink of realising the culmination of their efforts. A range of merchandise has been designed and resultantly has lead to a sponsorship deal with Afterlife clothing, of Nottingham. The band's myspace is now looking superb, thanks to the efforts of Jord of Corrupt Design and the photographic genius of Gwyllam "G" Greedy.

The next step...?

Recording, promoting and touring of new material. It promises to be a big year for the five-some, with each of them very much looking forward to the journey ahead.
