CD REVIEW: LOST IN THE CITY by Crash Midnight

LOST IN THE CITY by Crash Midnight
(BronxBridgeEnt/InGrooves)

So, how do you describe a band like Crash Midnight? Classic rock makes them sound like anything but the brash young upstarts they are, and tags like glam rock and hair metal don't fit either. How about this - they're a rock n' roll band that remembers how to have fun. If you're someone who enjoys bands like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Stooges or Guns 'N' Roses you should love , 'Lost In The City', the debut release from Boston based rockers, Crash Midnight. Shaun Soho - lead vocals, Alex Donaldson - lead/rhythm guitars, Bo - bass guitar and Andrew Merkle - drums. The band's debut is rocking and catchy and you'll be banging your head throughout. 'Lost In City' is non-stop, in your face rock and roll. Crash Midnight is that band that tears down the local club with riotous songs about drinking and debauchery! The bass and drums are straight forward, rock steady, and keep a driving rhythm section pounding with force. The guitars are loaded with attitude and swagger and the vocals are awesome with a great sense of melody that fits the band's songs perfectly. Most importantly, the songs rock, and are catchy. Song titles like "151', "Made For The Money", "Welcome To Boston", "Diamond Boulevard" and "Goin' Down The Drain" tell you exactly what to expect from 'Lost In The City', and if those sound good to you, you're in good company. Crash Midnight is an up and coming band that I think will be capturing people's attention after this release. If you like your rock with attitude and lots of energy give these lads a listen. You won't be disappointed. - Highly Recommended
