Midnight Youth

Midnight Youth are a New Zealand rock band and currently based in Australasia.

They formed in 2006 while at Rangitoto College in Auckland with three members of the band competing in Rockquest with the band name Resonate. Jeremy Redmore and Nick Campbell joined the group in mid-2006 after their lead singer, Scott Franz, left due to creative differences.

In 2009 the band released their debut album, The Brave Don’t Run, in New Zealand and Australia where it debuted at #2 on the NZ Top 40 Album chart. The album produced five singles – The Letter, All On Our Own, Learning To Fall, Cavalry and Golden Love. The later featured on US TV series One Tree Hill.

The band took home three awards at the NZ Music Awards in 2009 – Best Rock Album, Best Group and Best Engineer (Andrew Buckton).

They are currently working on their second studio record due for release in 2011.

“The Brave Don’t Run should be celebrated as a stunning success, particularly for a debut release!”
The AU Review

“Midnight Youth’s confidence, and obvious love of playing, shows in their set, proving why they have gone so far in such a short time, and why their status will continue to rise.”
Fasterlouder.com.au The Zoo August 2009

“They were the perfect support band, and would have put any other headliner to shame. Their songs are catchy, their energy was perfect, and their drummer, well, he’s a show all on his own. He can twirl a stick mid-solo and keep a beat with thin air, brilliant.”

“New Zealand indie kids Midnight Youth then blew everyone out of the water. Immersed in sinister red lighting tones, walls of wailing noise guitars, and tribal pounding drums the band brought in ‘Cavalry’, a taste from their recently released debut ‘The Brave Don’t Run’. Confidence oozed from their very core”
Xpress magazine

“Jeremy Redmore is an absolutely phenomenal vocalist, and was in perfect pitch the whole performance, flawless.

“For the 100 or so fans turned away at the door, you missed something special. But don’t worry – Midnight Youth are guaranteed to be around for a long time to come.”
