Midtown's second album and major label debut Living Well Is the Best Revenge picks up more or less where Save the World, Lose the Girl left off, delivering plenty of revved-up, melodic punk-pop. Until the garage rock revival took off, this type of rock seemed to be the only alternative to nu-metal for anyone looking for guitar-driven music. Punk ...
Solution to Benefit Heal the Bay is a double-disc compilation ranging from latter-day punk and third-wave ska to hip-hop, electronica, and club music, all in the service of the Heal the Bay Foundation, an environmental organization dedicated to cleaning up coastal waters. Fifteen of the 27 tracks are previously unreleased, including material from ...
Midtown has jettisoned its last stores of punk-pop silly string for Forget What You Know, its ambitious major-label debut, coming up with a leaner, more moody sound. Working with producer Butch Walker (Marvelous 3), the foursome finds new life in the shadows of punk revivalism and vague modern rock cynicism, forgoing sugar-high hooks in favor of ...

There aren't really any big names present (as of its 1999 release date), but there are plentiful helpings of basic, tuneful punk, danceable ska, zany humor, and snotty attitude. Some of ...
Tweens gone wild! That's the best way to describe Midtown Dickens' Oh Yell! album, a set played on the porch with songs ripped straight from the playground.
