Alongside releasing their new EP today, titled 'Wishing For The Best', Melbourne indie rockers Mid City will embark on an east-coast tour in February (their first live shows in over a year).
Set to visit Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane, the band are fangin' to hit the stage once more."Never in the history of up-start rock & roll bands has a group of people been this excited to get back to what they do best," band member Joel Griffith says.
"One year away is an eternity in music and we intend to make up for every second of lost time with all the blood, sweat and happy tears we can muster."
'Wishing For The Best' is a five-track release featuring monstrous, uplifting choruses and melodies and a band at their most furious, most eager. Think Interpol mashed with Franz Ferdinand and modern indie production that screams anthemic music.
"We exist to re-energise people to rock music that would otherwise find it a little bit staid," Joel says.
Mid City have also released a music video for 'Wishing For The Best' track 'Good For It'.
Of the video, Joel says: "COVID's been a bitch for everyone here in Victoria. But not even a deadly global pandemic will stop this Mid City train.
"Four guys, four bedrooms, one surprisingly delicate iso-inspired clip for you. In a funny, fateful way, isolation was a blessing.
"It forced us to stand back from the day-to-day hustle, turn inward and create something that reflected the outcast and heartbroken vibes of both the song and our time together/ apart this year.
"Who knew a big, brash rock band could be so introspective? Not us."
