    Midtown - “Waiting for the News”

    This song is so, totally old you guys, it’s from 2004…and the band broke up in 2005! So why am I posting it? I have a thing for songs which totally alienate themselves from the rest of a band’s repertoire. Midtown is some sort of pop-punk band who had some mild success in the early 2000’s with songs like Let Go and Like the Movies, which are alright but by no means unique.

    I don’t know how I got this song, Waiting for the News, off of their “experimental” album. All their other songs sound like the bastard lovechild of Fall Out Boy, Sugar Ray, and maybe a pop punk band, but this song is something really great. It’s sweet and sad, then passionate. It’s a notch above acoustic, with a dominating piano sound at first, and then gradually builds into something grittier. Great lyrics accompanied by rolling drumming (is that even a real term? I feel it’s apt) and rockin’ guitars.
