Midnight Spin’s debut Don’t Let Me Sleep scrapes together everything you once loved about rock music and makes it hum again like a dirty, little noise-box from the future.
About
Midnight Spin’s debut album Don’t Let Me Sleep is the result of endless bleary-eyed practice sessions and late night stumbling across the East River that has inspired and yielded a full-length album worthy of its name. The twelve-song LP produced by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Weezer) combines 90s alternative and punk energy with modern indie elements from their Brooklyn home.
The band has quickly emerged as one of New York’s most exciting live acts. Having already toured nationally including festivals like SXSW and playing prominent NYC venues like the Gramercy Theatre and Mercury Lounge; Midnight Spin’s skill for translating top-notch studio recordings into an unforgettable live show has put them well ahead of the pack even among their Brooklyn peers.
