Bettie After Midnight

heavy catchy sexy punky all-girl rock from NYC!

About Me


"Bettie After Midnight is an awesomely dirty all-gal trio, playing balls-out, hooky rock full of monster movie minor chords."
Time Out New York
"A pretty heavy outfit...I could totally see these NYC-based ladies supporting Rob Zombie on a states tour, so if Gene Simmons is thinking of swooping in on them, he needs to clear that shit up with Mr. Zombie first."
Razorcake - Issue #29 by Designated Dale
"Incredibly addictive, even after it's been played enough times to get you in trouble with your neighbors"
Void - Spring 2006
"BAM don't fuck about with balladeering, pointless time-signature switches, changes in mood, or any of that other wimpy stuff...Brillantly rough around the edges and un-reconstructed, they're my kinda girls. Now someone bleedin' sign them!"
Taking Notes UK - October 2006 by Rory McNamara
"Hard-played punk with a metal edge...(The tracks) come at you like a full-on punch! Very few bands could pack this much power into their songs."
Full-Frontal Recordings UK (ffruk.com) - October 2006
