"Three guys from Nashville, Tennessee have put together a nicely crafted album that brings to mind Eels "Beautiful Freak" If you missed their in-store last weekend, and a show at the Berlin, you need to check out their myspace to hear some good music," -Wooden Nickel Records ____________________________________________________________ ___________
"This top-notch Tennessee alt-country rock act was originally scheduled to play in Athens Dec. 9, but the show was pushed up a week to Dec. 16. Dead Confederate fans will connect with this trio's emotional Southern sound that lies somewhere between the rousing stomps of Kings of Leon and the soulful, sharp lyricism of Howl-era Black Rebel Motorcycle Club." - Athen's Flagpole Critic's Pick ____________________________________________________________ __________The MiddleMen are a 3 piece Indie rock band emerging from a storage shed in the typically polished up Nashville music scene. They are fronted by the distinctive songwriting and frantic rhythm guitar of Bobby Gray. Cast in the shadows of Bobby's emotional stature are Matt Wilson on drums and Mitch Holland on bass. Each provide the hard hitting energy that seems as natural to this band as Bobby's commanding stage presence.Their self-produced demo cd, "To Who it may Concern" released in 2006 featured 4 of their most popular songs from their first touring and writing experiences. Silver Screens, Roll, Paralyzed, and Lessons Learned offered a glimpse into their songwriting minds and laid the groundwork for their latest release.During 2006 The MiddleMen gained fan support and enough songs to begin their first full length recording. It wasn't until working in pre-production in early 2007 that the 13 track rock and alt. country songs really became "Post Script". Produced by Vinny Constantine, their debut LP offers a mix of songs ranging from love, death, god, and everything in between, and captures the screaming frustrations of youth being forced to deal with such emotional issues. To the MiddleMen, Post Script goes beyond each individual song and provides a snapshot of the past 2 years of writing, performing, and recording and being locked in a sweaty storage shed for far too many hours at a time.
