This from the bands website: Since bursting out onto the scene with vengeance in 2017, MIDNITE CITY have taken on the world and hustled themselves to the top of the pile to be crowned the true kings of Hair Metal. The band have released three critically acclaimed albums, with their second album "There Goes The Neighbourhood" being voted 5th best album of the year in Classic Rock magazine, as well as being voted one of the best albums in the 35-year history of Burrn magazine in Japan. Since then, the band have headlined tours of the UK, played high profile festivals in Europe, alongside sold out shows in Japan and Australia and continue to dazzle a growing legion of diehard fans (The Midnite Army) around the globe with their high energy, feel good, melodic party rock. Hot on the heels of their 2021 album "Itch You Can't Scratch", MIDNITE CITY return in June 2023 with the release of their highly anticipated fourth album "In At The Deep End" released June 23, 2023. Mixed by Grammy award winning producer Chris Laney (EUORPE, CRASH DIET, CRAZY LIXX), the band deliver their strongest album to date, ticking every single box when it comes to late 80's style Hair Metal. From party rock anthems to melodic rock monsters, to heartfelt power ballads, it's all here in abundance. Singer and songwriter Rob Wylde had this to say, "It's not often we can sit back after an album is done and be 100% happy with it. But in this case, we can whole heartedly say that we are. This is the quintessential Midnite City album, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you." I am a hair metal guy and find it hard to believe I've never heard of this band, so, I'll put on my speedo's and jump head first into the "deep end".

"Marty, get back in the DeLorean, we're headed back to the 1980's." And that's where we landed, smack in the middle of big hair, make-up and spandex. It doesn't happen often that I review an album in its entirety and not at least half of the songs individually, but in the case of "In at the Deep End", it is the path I've chosen. First, there are a lot of catchy, huge, sing-along harmonies and choruses. Musically the band is tight, balanced and polished, almost too polished, it just felt over produced and mechanical. If I were teaching a class for Hair Metal 101, this album would be my textbook. I really do like the vocals of Rob Wylde, they are clean and smooth and he sounds perfectly charming on the three ballads. Yes, three out of ten songs are ballads. I can't believe I would ever mention this artist in any of my reviews, but "Girls Gone Wild" reminded me of "Heaven is a Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle, and now I can't get that damn song out of my head. The songs that do rock out are pretty genetic and harmless in a boy scout sort of way, they had no feeling of danger or nothing to sink my teeth into. The lyrics are also simplistic and predicable. This may sound harsh, but the best way to describe MIDNITE CITY is, they are the kind of hair metal band that your parents would approve of. They're the clean-cut kid with the neat and tidy appearance. BUT, and it's a big but, this still is an enjoyable, pleasant album that pulls no punches or won't have you cranking the speakers to eleven.
