Louder Than The Music

XIII Minutes, the alternative rock band that made a name for themselves with their chart-topping track "Who Told You" in 2019, has officially signed with NRT Music to expand their next chapter of evolution. After a few years of silence, the band is back and stronger than ever, reuniting with a fresh lineup that brings a renewed sense of purpose and community to their music. The band's new formation, led by founder and drummer Jamie Kucinski, includes Thomas Wheat (guitar/backing vocals), Jerrod Cunningham (lead vocals), and Justin Elsten (bass/backing vocals).

XIII Minutes will release their first single with NRT Music on March 14 titled "Stay," a powerful anthem for those battling feelings of hopelessness and loneliness, encouraging listeners to fight through their darkest moments. The song speaks to anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts, depression, or isolation, reminding them that they are not alone.

"We are excited to be part of the NRT Music community, especially as we release this single," shares Jamie Kucinski. "NewReleaseToday has an amazing platform and a history of excellence. This partnership connects XIII Minutes with an already vibrant platform and will further amplify the message in our music."

XIII Minutes is preparing to release a string of new singles throughout 2025, continuing to spread their message of hope, resilience, and community to fans both old and new. Having already tested their new lineup on major stages like Lifest and Audiofeed Music Festival, XIII Minutes is poised to expand its reach and make an even more significant impact on the Christian hard rock scene.

Stay tuned for the upcoming single "Stay," and join XIII Minutes on this exciting new chapter in their journey.
