Midnight Bombers new CD “Evil Streets” is full of knife-slashing punk rock, fast n’ mean with a palpable black leather slither to it. The Midnight Bombers offer up scuzzy, howling, garage-wrecking noise for snipers and stalkers. I dug the menacing “Shanghaid” the best, because it sounds like a guy getting pummeled to death. Which is what you fuckin’ get when you’re out on the Evil Streets, baby. The Midnight Bombers know their punk. Weaving in more straight-laced and textured hard rock with their classic punk sound. Raw melodies mix up with feisty aggression and in-your-face attitude. The music is high energy and totally satisfying for the hardcore fan of punk rock. The group's unibomber image is also a nice touch, mingling nicely with the group's iconoclasm, which resonates from every song. This CD is a big, ballsy fuck-you, which is exactly how it should be. Solid punk rock with a brashness and straight-ahead energy. There’s some snakiness in the guitar playing and other twists—such as the PIL-like dubbiness that starts “Satan’s Children.” The more interesting songs have those little wrinkles and it’s all played at a fast pace. The lyrics expose a tortured psyche—introspective and troubled and it’s echoed by the darker shadings in the music.
