Based in Essex in the UK, Midnight Repost have been establishing themselves as an exciting act in the UK indie scene. Started by frontman Liam, who made the shift from composing film scores during his student days to writing rock songs during the 2020 lockdown, the band’s origin story is one of reinvention and determination. Joined by his best friends Freddie and Darius, Liam’s new musical venture blossomed into a trio seeking to exploring the intersections of pop rock, indie rock and funk all while venturing to the fringes of their shared sonic vision.
Formed officially in 2021, Midnight Repost wasted no time making an impression; their debut single “OnMyMind” signalled the arrival of a band with both a new sound and limitless potential. With their fusion of grooves, punchy hooks and infectious energy, the group quickly earned the attention of major outlets, securing plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC Essex and BBC Rapal. That early success only fuelled their momentum, with the band spending tireless hours in the studio, developing their musical output and experimenting with new sonic elements.
Their debut EP Out By Ten, released in 2024, captured a key moment in their artistic journey. Recorded at a secluded studio in Norway, the five-track outing recounting a vivid tale of personal growth, charting a course from arrogance and inner conflict to eventual peace and acceptance. It was an ambitious project that displayed not just their musical range, but also a thoughtful quality to their songwriting.
Now, Midnight Repost continue their rise with the release of “Find a New Song,” the second single lifted from their upcoming EP The Big Night Out. A longtime fan favourite that dates back to the early days of the band, the track has been restored and reimagined, this time recorded live to tape to capture a warm, immediate feel. “Find a New Song” touches on a theme that feels increasingly relevant, the struggle to connect with music in an era of endless content and digital overwhelm.
Opened by the swell of shimmering synth tones and Liam’s bright voice as the first line of “where can I go to find a new song to get drunk to” rings out, the track shifts towards a grooving sound of bouncing rhythms and colourful instrumentation of intricate guitar and synth dashes capped by instantly catchy vocal leads. As the chorus arrives, a surge of sonic energy erupts with slick layers of guitar and punching drums which underpin the memorable vocal hooks, resulting in an anthemic sound of groove-focused pop rock music.
Flowing with rolling drum fills and bursts of gripping instrumental textures, “Find A New Song” sees Midnight Repost serve up an epic slice of their fiercely original and widely accessible sound via a song that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. With their highly anticipated sophomore EP on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what this talented band has in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
