Midnight Hour is Masterful Rock!

Midnight Hour is a rock band based out of Orange County, CA. This band is made up of Brad Lodge on piano and vocals, Tim Johnson on guitar, James Mitchell on guitar, Jared Mitchell on Bass, and Dan Ardis on drums. I have to say when I listened to this band's music, I half expected to hear another mundane round of drowned out vocals by too loud guitars with senseless lyrics. I was so WRONG. I was delightfully surprised when I clicked that play button on their music page. This band provides us with some refreshing songs that can lay proudly within the genre of Rock music.

Let me begin to tell you that there are six tracks up on Midnight Hour's music page. Usually, when I give bands a listen, I like half the tracks and feel they are worthy of sharing. Midnight Hour's playlist is not included in this such action. All six tracks currently available for a listen at www.myspace.com/midnighthourrock are all worthy of your time to sit and listen to them, as they are all masterfully written, mixed, and produced. Midnight hour does a Magnificent job at keeping all their tunes well balanced, and Brad Lodge's vocals are heartfelt,warm, and inviting.

I will list three of their songs that I love the most, and if you take the time to listen, if you are a fan of music, you will love them too.

"Running Away" is by far the best tune on the playlist. This song envelopes your heart with its sound and you can not help but feel the contraints of insecurity the group is singing about. Beautiful guitar, piano, and vocals that cry without whining. I absolutely love this tune.

"This is Where it Ends" is another of their beautiful tunes. This song has amazing composure. Produced and mixed in pure beauty. I love how Brad's vocals can call out to your heart and demand you to listen to his pain behind his lyrics. This is such a good band. I love this song!

"Queen Annie" This tune grabs at my heart. This song opens with an acoustic guitar and vocals tinged with beauty. Brad's vocals are so believable as he sings out to his love. This is such a beautiful song with masterful guitar, piano chords blending very well, all shadowing the vocals wonderfully. This is my favorite tune by Midnight Hour. The guitar alone sold me on this one. I love it and you will too.

Midnight Hour is a breath of fresh air when it comes to music. I absolutely love when I come across a band and I can loose myself in their music. Midnight Hour has an album coming out soon, I am told by Brad himself. So keep your eyes out for this release. Make sure you head over to www.myspace.com/midnighthourrock and listen to these guys. They are DEFINITELY worth the 20 minutes. Also make sure you watch their music page for release of their album information. You will not be disappointed in this band.
