[Exclusive] KROQ Locals Only Favorite – Midnight Hour Premieres “Modern Love”
Midnight Hour first came together in 2006, one year before the release of their first ep “Ghost in the Mirror.” Although he was happy with the art they created together, front man Brad Lodge was never comfortable with his bands initial mix of members. As fate would have it, Lodge met Tim Johnson, Dan Ardis, Jared Mitchell and James Mitchell.
With the lineup solidified the Band began collaborating on material; within weeks, the single, “Running Away,” was created and helped introduce the band to the world via several T.V. shows. This exposure created the global base that has spawned over a million YouTube hits via fan generated videos. Since then the band has self-produced their first LP (self titled) and got the funding they needed to create the record from their loyal fan base.
The first single, “Modern Love,” received a huge push thanks to the keen ears of Kat Corbett and KROQ’s Locals Only. The band’s fans have nearly crippled KROQ.com with their repeat requests for more airtime. If their fan base continues to grow at the current pace, the band will likely find itself playing in bigger and bigger venues around the country.
If you like what you hear, vote for them in this week’s KROQ Locals Only playlist.
