Formed in early 2003, Full Minute of Mercury has proven that they are like no other band in the DC metro area. Combining a do-it-yourself punk rock mentality, pop sensibility, and a stage show reminiscent of 80s hair metal bands, FMHg bridges many genre gaps, playing bills with everyone from college rock/indie bands to hardcore and metal acts. Full Minute of Mercury has not only breathed new life in to the DC music scene, but has helped unify it by bringing bands of many different genres together.
Full Minute’s innovative songwriting and energetic sound was described by On Tap Magazine as “one of the most original and accessible sounds out there today.” FMHg’s sound draws from many influences in the punk, new wave, metal, emo, hardcore, pop, and alternative genres, but by no means is a cross genre band. Full Minute of Mercury has created a genre of their own.
Within their first five months of existence, FMHg exploded onto the scene, playing upwards of 50 shows in six states, quickly building a fan base locally (in DC/NoVA and Baltimore simultaneously), as well as in NYC and the Carolinas. In November of 2003, Full Minute of Mercury finished recording their first 7 song demo. Within hours of their release, Full Minute’s singles “Dream in Drop D” and “Next to Me” simultaneously held the number one and number two slots on washingtonpost.com’s top downloads list, with “Dream” receiving a Washington Post Editor’s Pick and being named “Song of the Week” two weeks in a row. The band’s three downloadable songs have remained on the charts ever since.
On December 14, 2003, FMHg made their radio debut on DC 101 with the song "Next to Me." For the song "Ready to Go”, Full Minute of Mercury was chosen by Pitchfork Media, MakeoutClub, and Buddyhead as one of three finalists for the best DC indie band to open up for the Suicide Girls live burlesque tour. After a nationwide voting poll, Full Minute of Mercury won and played the opening slot at the Black Cat in DC to a sellout crowd on February 2, 2004. Most recently, Full Minute of Mercury's "Dream in Drop D" was chosen by the Washington Post music editor as her top pick for the best songs of 2003 and received DC101 airplay as well.
