The Midnight Thunder Express have exploded like a runaway freight train leaping
off the tracks. This hard working five piece came out of the gates running,
forming mere months ago from the ashes of Seattle stalwarts the Valentine
Killers and other less notables. Twin guitar madness courtesy of Stu Miller's
Chuck Berry rhythm style mixing perfectly with Brian's scorching leads, a one
two punch indeed. This while Willie sings about dirty women, good times had, and
those unshakeable blues. The solid bottom end is the glue that holds the Express
together, Scott's masterful bass lines falling right in place with Jimmy Flame's
heavy hitting drum style.

Their debut self titled debut full-length (with the legendary Jack Endino at the
helm) is 10 songs of pure rock 'n roll power. Imagine the swagger of the New
York Dolls, T Rex, and '70s Stones poured on top of heavy rock a la AC/DC or the
MC5.
