The Sun Eats Hours are a melodic hardcore band from Vicenza, Italy, that formed in 1997.

Their breakout album came in September 2000, called Don't Waste Time. Prior to this release they were well regarded among melodic hardcore fans, thanks in part to a successful demo released a year earlier and several concerts played around Northern Italy and Switzerland. Don't Waste Time also brought the band to support world-famous bands such as The Offspring, Pennywise, AFI and NOFX.
