Midnight Mob - "High Octane Rock N Roll"
We got our first review of the entire new ep, Honest Brutal Glorious, done by Lehigh Valley Underground. Here’s a quote – ““Honest Brutal Glorious” serves as a reminder of what hard rock can be when bands continue to push past old boundaries. Certainly, the members of Midnight Mob have no fear when it comes to challenging themselves, and their hard work pays off with an EP that will surely stand as one of the year’s best.”

We just confirmed Drom, in the lower east side of NYC, to be the site of our video release show. We’re still putting together all the details, but this what we know at the moment: the event will take place on Friday 2/26/16 from 7-11. As of now we have confirmed The Blackfires to play this show along with us, but we will be announcing one more band soon. Check back soon for more details!
Back in December we were approached by Newsday to part of an article about unsigned bands. The bands that are basically rocking out in the garage down the block. Newsday came to our rehearsal space took some video and pictures during our practice and then we had a sit down interview to wrap it all up. It was a really great interview and can’t wait for it to hit the paper. We were told it would be in Newsday sometime late January early February. When we get more details we’ll let you know.
Coincidentally at the 94.3 The Shark Christmas Show at Revolution early January, where we opened for Candlebox, we were approached by someone else from Newsday. This time Newsday wanted to include us in a fashion article. We were told this article will be out Monday 1/18/16, so make sure you look for it after you check out the latest thing you can feel paranoid about.
We have decided that the first single off the new EP, Honest Brutal Glorious, will be the track “Swing On”. When our producer heard it for the first time outside the studio doors, his first comment was please tell me that’s your song. He described it as disco metal.
The most incredible thing about writing and recording a new cd is that you have no idea what is going to come out on the other side when all is said and done. When we were in the beginning pre-production phase “Ghosts” was the leading contender as the single. At the end of the pre-preduction phase “Swing On” creeped, danced & grooved into our lives. This song wasn’t even thought of until we were a week or two away from actually recording.
We will be filming this video with Jarett Bellucci, who was behind our “All For Nothing” video. The video shoot site will be in Greenport, Long Island at the Silver Sands Motel. Our van Glenn Vanzig will make a cameo and we will be doing rock out scenes in various rooms and cottages as well as the motel lobby. The loose story is Blackey is fighting her demons, which is ultimately herself.
Keep an eye out for the video release event to be scheduled in NYC late February early March 2016. When it gets hard keep it together, stand (RIP Lemmy) and swing on.
