"This album is chock full of no-frills rock...with a sound that’s reminiscent of early ‘90s alt-rock with a dose of classic rock and a hint of ska/reggae. Schmid tackles the lead vocals with a fierce energy... excellent facemelting lead guitar from Jamie Rea...sounds as though it could be found on an early Collective Soul album...an enjoyable appetizer from a band we hope to hear more of in the future." - American Noise
"Since their formation they have taken step after step in the right direction. The band has graduated from playing small shows to larger rock venues." - Tri State Indie
"The bands experience shines through when theyre on stage. They exude confidence that transfers over to the audience and know what it takes to convey the exact sound they want." - Washington Times
"Midnight sounds like Velvet Revolver meets Collective Soul" - DC Music Pub
"Midnight Hike is all about bringing yesterday to the forefront and proving that it’s not that far away. It’s the synthesis of their influences on their new album that makes it an enjoyable listen. The band isn’t content just to bring out their influences and leave it at that, but rather to take them and move forward with their sound."
- Washington Times
"Midnight Hike is one of the best bands to play here in a long, long time...great to see a packed house of fans thriving on original rock songs."

"Fantastic band...great fans...can't wait to get Midnight Hike back in here..."

Great lead vocals and rockability is what I think of when I hear Midnight Hike's hit single "Tell Me You Love Me". These guys are all veterans of regional and national touring bands so their DEFINATELY ready to rock your faces! - On Tap Magazine

Bio
Midnight Hike formed in Washington, DC in 2008 and serves up a refreshing concoction of highly potent alt-rock songs with a tasty pop finish. Veterans of regional and national touring bands, these six characters blended their musical histories into this righteous cocktail that goes down easy and begs for another. One jam led to another, small gigs led to larger ones, neighborhood shows led to regional festivals, and a 3-song basement demo led to their first album "Long Way From Yesterday" produced by Frank Marchand (Cracker/Bob Mould) and Warren Boes (All Mighty Senators). Midnight Hike’s music is deeply rooted in their belief that it should take you to places that you may not otherwise venture...kinda like a hike...at midnight.
