“Upon first hearing Sibling Rivalry I automatically note that this is the flagship song from the duo track digital E.P. it’s very melodic throughout, it’s hard to put it strictly into a pigeon holed genre, the closest I can put my finger on is Post-Melodic Hardcore with a commercial edge, with classic Metalcore vocals, a very well balanced harmonised clean vocal and a extraordinarily tight arrangement that is certainly expected by no second rate band. They even throw in a nice little solo which adds a metal element to the song” - The Metal Onslaught
"This Life" has got it all! riffs, lyrics with deep meaning, vocals that will rip your head off, chorus that you're singing along to halfway through the song….. We're looking forward to hearing what else these guys got comin'. This song is a great debut! - Thunder Underground
“XIII Minutes newest release, Obsessed, is chock full of crunchy riffs, huge breakdowns and just enough melodic uniqueness to separate them.”
- Bruce Moore, Pure Grain Audio (Mar 27, 2019) - Pure Grain Audio
While the band features many stylistic influences (I hear notes of Parkway Drive, Demon Hunter, In Flames, and just a bit of Pillar at times, particularly in “Out of Time”), the CDs is remarkably consistent, both in volume levels and in the feel of each track. - The Phantom Tollbooth
The band uses different musical styles in the way a painter mixes hues. At the core, it’s always heavy metal - The Metal Resource

Bio
XIII Minutes is an American alternative metal and metalcore band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, formed in late 2015. The band's name is inspired by the spiritual significance of the number thirteen, symbolizing spiritual fitness, great blessing, and new life.
Their music blends traditional metal elements with post-hardcore and nu-metal, creating a unique sound that transcends genre definitions. XIII Minutes aims to infuse their music with dichotomies like brutality and harmony, commercial and underground, and old and new.
The band has undergone some lineup changes over the years. Currently, Jerrod Cunningham is the lead vocalist, with Thomas Wheat on guitar and backing vocals, Preston Bell on bass and backing vocals, and Jamie Kucinski on drums.
XIII Minutes has released several singles and an album, "Obsessed," in 2019, which received high reviews. After a brief hiatus, the band returned in 2022 and is now signed with NRT Music and Full Circle Entertainment
