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.
Midnight Bombers Bio
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 debute 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.

Thirty Years of Defiance Cape Cod, MA's punk rockers, The Freeze first formed in late 1978. All band members were still in high school. They weren't even old enough to drive to Boston, a city where the underground music scene was flourishing. This geographic isolation allowed the Freeze to invent themselves on their own terms, and they did so by infusing a bold sense of melody and unforeseen lyrical intensity into an aggressive, stripped-down punk style that was soon to be embraced as "hardcore". The band took an anti-conformist/anti-ignorance, pro-civil rights/liberty and freedom stance. Using vitriolic, yet spot on satire the The Freeze began actively criticizing hypocrisy as they saw it, Clif's lyrics inviting comparisons with Jello Biafra, Bob Mould and Greg Graffin. In 1982 The Freeze released 8 songs, including the title track, on the now classic HC compilation, "This Is Boston, Not LA". Although cleverly marketed as a call for competition between national HC scenes, it had been mischaracterized and were merely a simple warning against the "dance the same, dress the same", trendiness plaguing the very underground scene they had a hand in building. The band quickly gained a large following playing to sellout all-ages crowds all over the Northeast. Lead singer Clif Hanger had set up dozens of all-ages shows on the Cape featuring local Boston bands - SS Decontrol, Gang Green, Jerry's Kids, The F.U.'s etc - as well as national touring acts, like Black Flag, G.G. Allin and Mission Of Burma. The Freeze was also one of the few early American hardcore punk bands to headline their own national as well as European tours solely on the success of their independently released records. By today's internet-age/indie label standards that might seem like no big deal, however in the early Eighties, there was no established circuit for independent music and the band often opened
