Boston rockers, Crash Midnight have announced the tour dates this fall as they will be heading out with Adelita’s Way on the headlining tour of The Pretty Reckless. Crash Midnight are set to release their new album Lost In The City on November 18th through Bronx Bridge Entertainment/Universal. The album delivers straight up rock and roll with wild riffs and rockin vocals that will unleash your wild side and leave you craving more of Crash Midnight. The album’s first single started off as a tongue in cheek track, 151 about the notorious high proof alcohol. Vocalist, Shaun Soho, comments on the song, “It was originally kind of a tongue in cheek party song that ended up taking on a life of its own and becoming one of our most requested songs live so we ended up going back and putting a lot of work into making it into a real song.” Check out the video for 151 here: Band Members:  Shaun Soho – Lead vocals Bo – Bass Tony Pizzo- Guitar Andrew Merkle – Drums Alex [Read More]
