Kiwi rockers Midnight Youth (M.Y.) have made it to the big time with the release of their third single, "The Letter".
Originally from Auckland, M.Y. formed in 2006 and released their debut single "Supernatural" which attained national airplay, and was followed up by their next release "A New Day". This track was good but just felt a little weak, but still did enough to ensure their continuing rise.
But 2008 has to be their year as they headed to New York to record their debut album in April/May of this year, which is set for release in early 2009.
Their third (and best) single "The Letter" was finally released in September. This track is very (very) tightly put together, and does everything it should; it shows off their great instrumentals and the very fitting vocals of lead singer Jeremy Redmore. It is highly catchy and feels at home amongst many of their contemporaries. They do run the risk of lack of originality but are forgiven as it's early days, but they will have to be more daring if they hope to establish themselves as more than just the "next big thing".
A very solid start from this Kiwi act and we are hoping for big things from them in the future! And after seeing them live last year i can definitely say M.Y. are a great live act, so if you get the chance go along and support them!
Score: 8/10
