Midnite City

Formed in 2017 by seasoned frontman Rob Wylde (Tigertailz, Vega, Steevi Jaimz, and Teenage Casket Company), Nottingham, England's Midnite City deliver rowdy and melody-driven pop-metal confections that invoke names like Danger Danger, Kiss, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. The band eventually settled on a core lineup featuring Wylde, Pete Newdeck (drums), Miles Meakin (guitar), Shawn Charvette (keyboards), and Josh "Tabbie" Williams (bass). After shopping around a handful of singles, the newly minted five-piece inked a deal with German label AOR Heaven, which released the band's eponymous debut long-player in October of 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger
