New pop-rock favourites THE MIDDLENIGHT MEN release their long-awaited new album today and they've given Vive Le Rock! a sneaky peak!
The band are the brainchild of singer/guitarist Nick Hughes, whose impressive work record has included stints with THE YO-YOS, TERRORVISION and DUNCAN REID & THE BIG HEADS
Written over the course of a year, Hughes went into the studio before lockdown with longtime friend and STATUS QUO drummer Leon Cave, producer Andy Brook and various friends and miscreants to lay down the album. Trailed by three well-received singles - 'Heroine Heights', 'Rat Star' and 'B.A. Baby', the aptly-titled Issue 1 is now ready to see the light of day.
“Issue 1 is an epic collection of our biggest influences all rammed in to 45 minutes of gloriously unashamed singalong pop-rock anthems," says Hughes. "The whole point of this album is both to provide a means of escapism from the shit that we all have to deal with right now and an excuse to stick a load of make-up on and be unashamed as we place ourselves in a different reality where we're free to sing, dance and drink the night away like it's 2027, presuming we can by then! If ya like Beach Boys, Wildhearts, Alice Cooper and even McFly, this one's for you."
Issue I is available to buy here.
