Midnite City

[Stefan]

More info from AOR Heaven:

MIDNITE CITY were formed in January 2017 by current Tigertailz front-man (and former Vega, Steevi Jaimz and Teenage Casket Company member and songwriter) Rob Wylde.

Armed with an album's worth of material written under the working title of MIDNITE CITY, Wylde approached friend Pete Newdeck (Newman/ Eden's Curse, Blood Red Saints) to produce three songs forhim to shop to record labels.
Wylde sang, played guitar and bass on the recordings whilst Newdeck played drums, provided backing vocals and took care of the production. Wylde also brought in newcomer guitarist Miles Meakin who played guitar solos on the recordings and former band mate James Martin (Vega) who laid down keyboards on the tracks. After being mixed by Newdeck, the songs were sent to Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) who mastered them at his studio in Canada.
The songs 'Nothing's Like Losing You', 'Summer Of Our Lives' and 'Think About You' were then sent out to labels and garnered considerable interest across the board, resulting in a deal being inked with German label AOR Heaven.

With a record deal in place, Newdeck officially joined the band as drummer in the Spring of 2017, alongside Miles Meakin on guitar and Shawn Charvette on keyboards.With the line up now in place, the band began work on their debut album at PNP Productions in Tewkesbury UK, completing the recordings in June 2017.

With a sound that the band describes as 'Timeless, melodic rock/ hair metal', MIDNITE CITY cover all bases when it comes to this much loved genre of music. From ultimate feel good, party rock anthems, to brooding melodic rock monsters, to spine tingling power ballads, they are all here in abundance, and then some.
With an album release being planned for October20th, 2017, MIDNITE CITY will be taking their explosive live show out on the road throughout the UK, Europe and the USA in late 2017/ 2018.

Heard 2 additional tracks from this release on a podcast tonight at aiirradio.net. I'll post a link if I see a replay available.

 

Heard Ghost of My Old Friends and Think About You.

 

Ghost of My Old Friends is fantastic...Think About You sounded good too although I was a little distracted during that one.

 

Really shaping up to be a great release....Very much in the vein of stuff like The Defiants, Tokyo Motor Fist, Danger Danger, etc. IMO.

[tts42572]

Replay of podcast with some Midnite city songs is up...Here is the link:

The very first song in the podcast is We Belong which we've heard already.

 

Then can skip forward to about the 2:32 mark for Ghost Of My Old Friends followed by Think About You.

A little Crazy Lixx I'd say also, but yes good comparisons.

Agree with that....Kind of Crazy Lixx crossed with TMF.

 

I'm really digging it either way

[Glen]

Sounds great. From those 2 I'm getting a White Widdow vibe and poss early HS. Debut.

I was going to say White Widdow. Good call.

[tts42572]

Summer Of Our Lives was played on this weeks FRYdays with Fry show....Another good one. Think a video for this song is coming next week.

 

Also had a good 25 minute or so interview with Rob Wydle. Will post a link once it's available.

 

Really loving the 4 songs I've heard from this album.

[Glen]

Another cool track albeit maybe not quite as strong as the first 3.

 

Shaping up to be a great album

[lettard]

Preordered

[The Rocker]

Another good one, can't wait! Sounds like it would be a great "Summer" album, too bad it will be Fall for me when it's released.
