Band Review: Crash Midnight


Crash Midnight is a basic rock band out of Boston, and they are really solid. They cite influences from Aerosmith to the New York Dolls, and many others, but I was most reminded of AC/DC and Sammy Hagar. It is a  definite classic rock feel.
So far I have only found five songs, but these songs can be heard via Youtube, Spotify, and Reverb Nation, though each of those places only had four, so you will need to hit more than one. Can't-miss songs "151" and "Welcome to Boston" are available at each, but only Spotify has "Made For The Money", and it does not have "Somewhere Yesterday."
On Youtube, there are two official videos (the other two are more slide shows), and both of those concentrate on performance. It's hard to imagine the band doing much else. The music is so straightforward, it feels like trying to obscure the performance with anything else would be wrong. The one possible exception would be fast cars heading down open roads. Maybe the reason I thought of Hagar and AC/DC was "I Can't Drive 55" and "Highway To Hell".
Listening to this music just feels good, so I recommend it. Tracks are available for purchase via Amazon and iTunes.
