Melbourne Indie-Rockers MID CITY have today released their much-anticipated sophomore EP Wishing For The Best, a body of work that flourishes in a narrative landscape that explores the human condition in all its beauty and imperfections.
Wishing For The Best is MID CITY at their most furious, most eager and at a particular peak of the band’s powers. Anthemic energy is at its core, starting from record opener ‘Liar Liar’, reaching numerous peaks throughout before wrapping tightly with its closer, ‘You Can’t Know Why’.
It is an EP that perfectly encapsulates the band’s thrill for live performance and with 2020 putting everyone into a forced period of retreat, it has simply reinstilled the love for music that has driven Mid City since their inception.“We exist to re-energise people to rock music that would otherwise find it a little bit staid,” Joel says. MID CITY’s EP Wishing For The Best does just that.
Alongside the EP, MID CITY has also released the new clip for the standout single ‘Good For It’. The clip is a self-portrait that features the band members’ closeups layered to create an honest and emotive visual metaphor.
With translating their live energy into their music at the band’s core it was only natural that as soon as possible the band would hit the road to tour their newest work.
Having today also announced a run of live dates Joel writes “Never in the history of up-start rock n roll bands has a group of people been this excited to get back to what they do best. One year away is an eternity in music and we intend to make up for every second of lost time with all the blood, sweat and happy tears we can muster”.
