Midtown

Formed in November, 1998 by three Rutgers students, Midtown soon became a quartet. The band took advantage of the fertile New Jersey punk scene to develop a unique sound that combined elements of emo and hardcore and began recording shortly after their formation. Their first EP, Sacrifice of Life, was issued by Pinball Records in 1999. Their second album, Save the World, Lose the Girl, was released in early 2000 by their own DriveThru Records label and picked up for distribution by MCA.
