Tonight’s album of the week was the new offering from MIDWAY STILL, “Always Ends”. The band were around in the early 90s and were lumped in with the explosion of grunge bands that came up in the UK and US at that time – they did play live with Nirvana, and the NME described them as the UK’s answer to the Seattle legends, although their sound is more accurately a pop/punk hybrid (don’t think Blink 182 or Bowling For Soup when you read this). After a long long hiatus they returned in 2010 with a new album, “Note To Self” – and now this one, with its brilliant cover art, joins them.
