Minutes Like Ours

“By last fall, the baseball season had come and gone and Matt Maher thought his career was over. The Kennedy graduate became a record-breaking player at Fairleigh Dickenson and harbored dreams of playing pro ball — thoughts that began to fade once he was passed over in last June's draft. After nothing solid grabbed him last summer, he was so convinced, he pursued his musical dreams and his band, Minutes Like Ours,content to continue the next phase of his life. Months later, at 23, Maher's baseball life has resumed. Today he's headed to Evansville, Ind., where he hopes to play for the independent-league Evansville Otters. click the link to view the whole story!”

Keying out of Peekskill, New York, Minutes Like Ours is anything but a bunch of lazy rock stars. Well, they may have their lazy days, but that has yet to be seen as they take on what most bands fork out hard earned deniro for. Minutes Like Ours, or MLO, as they are commonly known as, has their hands in every cookie jar assuming the role of a manager, producer, publicist and a web designer.

This fun band is bringing pop-punk back with a twist as they wrap their tracks together with melodic rock sounds of Matt Maher the bands pianist. The driving force that is Minutes Like Ours has already received the honor of having the #1 Pop Song of the month by MTV’s Ourstage Competition in 2009 with their song “Lights Out.” The song may now be found in Xbox 360’s Rock Band.

With so many milestones already behind them, MLO is definitely a band to be on the look out for in the up coming year. The band has something for everyone with their cheeky and honest lyrics, upbeat sound, and brilliant compositions. They are sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know I will be in attempt to get them over to the West Coast. Give them a listen on their website, or download their CD “Leaving Shadows”. I know you will not be disappointed. - Musicians at Heart
