Midnight Circus

”Money Shot”

 

Ooooooh yeah, I’m still trippin’ in a serious way over another Perris release, with a band deeply in the vein of WASP and Motley Crue.

And here’s another great metal band with a very convincing and authentic sound. This awesome quartet from Texas is so crammed with great rhythm and positive vibes, that anyone who’s got the blues should use this album as an “upper”. It’s obvious that Midnight Circus is a band with very talented musicians.

If you’re looking out for an album with great vocals, hard pounding drums, guitar played extraordinaire and a four stringer that fits the music like a glove, Midnight Circus is a must have for you.

In the vein of Vince Neil, Poison and Dokken. Release date March 22nd Midnight Circus is exploding onto the hard rock scene with their debut appearance on the Perris Records label. Originally established in 1992, the band's current line-up of outrageously talented musicians came into existence in 2001. Founding member and vocalist, Rob Howl was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas and has fronted some very impressive acts from the now infamous Naked Zoo (Full Tilt Management) to Houston, Texas's Fearless Leader.

Accomplished bassist and one half of the incredibly talented rhythm section, Alan Rogers hails from Keflavic, Iceland. Alan was a working musician before joining Midnight Circus, but Circus has been the band that put him on the map.Circus Guitarist, engineer & producer Gregg Gill grew up in Denver, Colorado and has some extremely impressive and notable notches on his belt with Molten Metal recording artists Z-Lot-Z and Massacre Records' Distant Thunder. Hattiesburg, Mississippi native Rick Ward has been behind the drums in Onyxx (Austin, TX) and also shared the stage with Gregg in Distant Thunder. Rick currently pounds the skins for the progressive rock band, Azrael's Bane (DRP Management).

The combination of these four souls has produced a sound unlike any other; a smoldering cauldron of hard rock that brings music back to where it should be. "Money Shot" is an astounding display of perfect song writing combined with remarkable musicianship. This is the CD you have to have for summer.
Midnight Circus is a valuable asset to any record label, and Perris did well when signing them before anyone else got the same great idea.
