Midnight Mirage

As radio and music aficionados again embrace the indelible joy of sing-along choruses and melodic music, the timing is in the stars for Midnight Mirage. The Los Angeles-based band ably fuses elements of accessible pop with grinding rock, a hint of soul and the flicker of elegant orchestration. “Imagine Maroon 5 or OneRepublic with a shot of adrenalin. I’d describe us as a younger, higher-energy version of those influences,” offers front man and chief songwriter TS.

The party gets started July 10 with first single "Bad For You,” a fervent guitar-infused pop-rocker about addictive love. Midnight Mirage’s debut EP of the same name will follow in August. Already, the group has created formidable buzz before that first release hits, including 44,000+ Twitter followers, 11,000 Facebook “Likes,” 900+ YouTube subscribers and 84,500 streaming views. In addition, Midnight Mirage reached the top 10 on Billboard’s Next Big Sound Charts, which ranks the 15 fastest-accelerating artists on the Web; while “I Should’ve Known” was featured on ringtone site Myxer.com, generating 24,000+ downloads. If this is any indication, then Midnight Mirage is clearly destined for great things.
