The 2017 debut album of one of the finest acts out there in melodic rock/AOR is available again as Pride & Joy Classixx Vol. 18. The addition of the two bonus cuts 'Ghost of My Old Friends (Acoustic)' and 'This Time Around' (New Studio Track) makes this out of print gem a must-have.
MIDNITE CITY were formed in January 2017 by then Tigertailz front-man (and former Vega, Steevi Jaimz, Sins Of America, Nitrate and Teenage Casket Company member and songwriter) Rob Wylde. Ever since, the UK band proved themselves a magnificent live act in the genre and beloved fan favorite all over the world with an ever growing fanbase.
Armed with an album's worth of material written under the working title of MIDNITE CITY, Wylde approached friend Pete Newdeck (former Newman/ Eden's Curse, Blood Red Saints member) to produce three songs for him to shop to record labels.
The songs 'Nothing's Like Losing You', 'Summer Of Our Lives' and 'Think About You' were then sent out to labels and garnered considerable interest across the board, resulting in a deal being inked with German label AOR Heaven.
Wylde sang, played guitar and bass on the recordings whilst Newdeck played drums, provided backing vocals and took care of production. Wylde also brought in newcomer guitarist Miles Meakin who played guitar solos on the recordings and former band mate James Martin (Vega) who laid down keyboards. After being mixed by Newdeck, the songs were sent to Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) who mastered them at his studio in Canada.
With a record deal in place, Newdeck officially joined the band as drummer in the spring of 2017, alongside Miles Meakin (g) and Shawn Charvette on keyboards. With the line up now in place, the band began to work on their debut album at PNP Productions in Tewkesbury/UK, completing the recordings in June 2017.
With a sound that the band describes as 'Timeless, melodic rock/hair metal', MIDNITE CITY cover all bases when it comes to this beloved genre of music. From ultimate feel good, party rock anthems to brooding melodic rock monsters to spine tingling power ballads, they are all here in abundance, and then some.
Tracklist: 1. We Belong, 2. Ghost Of My Old Friends, 3. Summer Of Our Lives, 4. Nothing’s Like Losing You, 5. Last Beat Of My Heart, 6. Everything You Meant To Me, 7. Can’t Wait For The Nights, 8. One Step Away, 9. I Just Can’t Take It, 10. Things She Said, 11. Think About You 12. Ghost Of My Old Friends (Acoustic) 13. This Time Around (New Studio Track)

Midnite City - "There Goes The Neighbourhood"
Release date: May 23rd, 2025
Label: Pride & Joy Music Classixx
Ltd. to 500 copies
Following on from their explosive self-titled debut album in 2017, MIDNITE CITY return all guns blazing with their sophomore release 'THERE GOES THE NEIGHBOURHHOOD' a year later - eleven tracks plus two bonus cuts of fist pumping, high energy, feel-good, hair metal of the highest order!
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. Let alone “You Don’t Understand Me” shine…
As with the first album, the winning formula has remained - all songs have been written by frontman Rob Wylde, whilst Pete Newdeck (d) has once again taken control of production, engineering and mixing duties. Together with Miles Meakin (g), Josh “Tabbie” Williams (b) and Shawn Charvette (keys) they create the magic.
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 80's/early 90's, MIDNITE CITY and 'THERE GOES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD' is the album for you. It absolutely is!
MIDNITE CITY, unlike many competitors, is still tearing it up live all over the UK, Europe and beyond in their own inimitable, arena rock style…You bet!
Two bonus cuts, “Heaven's Falling (Piano)” and “Rock And A Hard Place (New Studio Track)” and that fact that there are only 500 copies whatsoever of this rerelease make this one a true collector’s item. Number 19 of Pride & Joy Music Classixx is a shining gem for every lover of melodic rock music.
’HERE COMES WEEKEND…HERE COMES THE PARTY!’
Tracklist: 1. Here Comes The Party, 2. Give Me Love, 3. You Don’t Understand, 4. Life Ain’t Like This On The Radio, 5. We’re Gonna Make It, 6. Tonight You’re All I Need, 7. Hard To Get Over, 8.
