Formed in November, 1998 by three Rutgers students, Midtown soon became a quartet. The band took advantage of the fertile New Jersey punk scene to develop a unique sound that combined elements of emo and hardcore and began recording shortly after their formation. Their first EP, Sacrifice of Life, was issued by Pinball Records in 1999. Their second album, Save the World, Lose the Girl, was released in early 2000 by their own DriveThru Records label and picked up for distribution by MCA. -- Stacia Proefrock

Keith (NOT BACK)
One always dies too soon-- or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are-- your life, and nothing else. - Garcin, No Exit
