Midtown developed a unique blend of pop-punk and punk rock, achieving recognition through independent and major label releases, and recently reunited for a series of successful tours. After rapidly establishing themselves with their debut full-length album Save the World, Lose the Girl in early 2000 through Drive-Thru Records, Midtown quickly solidified their presence in the pop-punk scene. Formed in November 1998, the band comprising Gabe Saporta (vocals, bass), Rob Hitt (drums), Tyler Rann (guitar, vocals), and Heath Saraceno (guitar, vocals) quickly developed a unique blend of pop-punk and punk rock. Their career began with the release of their first EP, The Sacrifice of Life, through Pinball Records in 1999.
Their full resurgence began in 2022, marking a major comeback as Midtown embarked on a Reunion Tour supporting My Chemical Romance. Following this successful run, Midtown launched their own headlining ‘Resurrection Tour’ across major venues, playing to dedicated fan bases. This period demonstrated the bands enduring appeal and dynamic live performance capabilities, building momentum for continued touring and new releases. In 2023, Midtown further cemented their reunion with a prominent performance at the Adjacent beach festival, engaging a broad audience.
The same year, they released a new EP, Were Too Old To Write New Songs, So Heres Some Old Songs We Didnt Write, offering a fresh take on their classic sound while acknowledging their legacy. Midtown continues to leverage their extensive catalog and vibrant stage presence, proving their marketability for both festival stages and headlining tours.
