2 Minute Minor

2 Minute Minor is an old-school style hardcore punk band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 2016. The band’s sound is rooted in the fast, aggressive energy of 1980s hardcore and working-class Oi! music, drawing inspiration from pioneers like Minor Threat and Black Flag. Their lineup features Wiley Willis on vocals, Bob Shields and Virgil Lloyd on guitars, Zach Birdier (sometimes listed as Bridier) on drums, and Noam O on bass. 2 Minute Minor is known for delivering raw, positive messages of unity and hope, distinguishing themselves with authenticity and a no-frills approach to punk. They have become vocal advocates for human rights and community within the hardcore scene, and their music reflects both their love for the genre and their commitment to uplifting listeners.

Despite their aggressive sound, 2 Minute Minor’s ethos is built on camaraderie and optimism, making them a memorable part of the Chicago hardcore landscape. Their albums and live shows are energetic, heartfelt, and dedicated to keeping the spirit of classic hardcore alive. The band has been active on the circuit, sharing stages and spreading their message of solidarity and positivity through punk music.
