English melodic hard rockers MIDNITE CITY hit the scene like a blast with their first two albums “Midnite City” (2017) und “There Goes The Neighbourhood” (2018). Frontman Rob Wylde (Tigertailz, ex Vega), Pete Newdeck (Newman, Eden’s Curse) and the rest of guys live the band to the fullest and deliver great party-ready melodic rock with AOR touches.
Both MIDNITE CITY first 2 albums are now virtually impossible to find on physical copy, unless you want to spend a fortune on eBay, so the band’s current label Pride & Joy Music is reissuing both albums 2025 with bonus tracks as part of their CD CLASSIXX SERIES on May 30th.
“There Goes The Neighbourhood +2” features the massive hits “Here Comes The Party” and “You Don’t Understand Me”, but virtually each track is a winner. Additionally the cool bonus cuts “Heaven’s Falling – Piano”, and “Rock And A Hard Place” (new studio track), absolutely make you wanna buy this killer album before it’s too late – it’s limited to 500 copies.
The lush melodies, huge choruses and gargantuan hooks found on their debut album are all here in abundance alongside some true modern-day glam anthems, fun commercial party rock, moody mid-paced hard rockers and heart-wrenching power ballads big enough to light up an entire arena.
As with the first album, the winning formula has remained – all songs have been written by Rob Wylde, whilst Pete Newdeck has once again taken control of production, engineering and mixing duties.
With “There Goes The Neighbourhood” the band has literally stepped everything up several notches to unbridled, head splitting proportions. The guitars are big, the drums are huge, there are walls and walls of harmonies and more synths than you’d find this side of a classic Bon Jovi album.
In a nutshell, this album has everything but the kitchen sink.
So, if you long for a band that still look, sound and perform like those long lost million selling forgotten bands of the late ’80s / early ’90s, Midnite City and ‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’ is a must have.
