Channeling old school skate punk, The Midnight Bombers are fast, pogo thrash, hardcore madness. Evil Streets is very easy to categorize but very difficult to pinpoint. It freewheels like old school punk but bounces around kinda clowny like classic Dead Kennedys. Smooth like early Descendents, but frantic. Up and down in tempo like Black Flag. Vocals sound whiny and antagonistic, almost reminiscent of Cyco Miko and definitely channeling the Suicidal. For sure, something to try out if you are like me and can't get enough of the old school punk thrash. Past live concert poster artwork is included in the jacket design and really enjoyable as a historical testament but also an artistic document_ Production on this record is very clean and the vocals are actually rather intelligible. Unlike other bands in the genre, these guys appear to have their sound well thought out and represent with musical tightness. Intentionally not too fluid, but not too messy either, even melodic at times. — Grant Inaba

OH, HELL YES! A band with a little mud on their shoes, a little blood on their hands and spit on their lips! Skate Rock in the tradition of the '80s Nardcore explosion. Midnight Bombers plan and plot the destruction from their secret SF warehouse district safe house, while busily making a name for themselves in San Francisco ’s crazy punk rock music scene.
Midnight Bombers crafted their own distinct stage look, by combining their slacker hoodies with aviators sunglasses, they mimic the iconic look of the UnaBomber, or more recently Clive Owen’s anonymous Bank robbing Character from the movie “Inside Man”. On stage they take on a presence of outlaw danger, anonymity, and mystique. Often people can’t even tell them apart.
Midnight Bombers have played as far north as Seattle and far south as Ventura, and hope to venture into the Southwest, East Coast and Beyond to foreign lands of Europe and Asia.
Midnight Bombers have appeared in Zero Magazine, and LittleBook, and have been reviewed by Punk Planet, Maximum Rock n Roll, Boston’s Suburban Voice, Ink 19, Lowcut Records, Panache, Underground Records, Sleaze Grinder, Corazine, and Peacedogman.com,
MIDNIGHT BOMBERS debut release Evil Streets is a masterpiece of hardcore, punk and thrash. The lyrics expose a tortured psyche—introspective and troubled, echoed by the darker shadings in the music.
MIDNIGHT BOMBERS play the kind of classic hardcore that gives you a rush and causes you to jump into the pit, all while thinking, "I'm too old for this shit!" Keep your eyes open for them, next time you find yourself in a dingy divey nightclub.
