Epic Downtime formed in the spring of 2016 in Minneapolis under the pretense of ‘we’re all busy people that want to play music together.’ With a Gang Green song as reference to what the band might want to sound like, a mid-tempo melodic hardcore band was formed. A band now for less than 6 months, they hope to release their first recordings this winter. Co-ed members of all walks of punk life—Frozen Teens, Constant Insult, Lutheran Heat, Filth Mattress—Epic Downtime puts the (this shit’s) Hard (on my body) back in Hardcore.
