    Artist description
    From personal ballads of uncertainty to battling the welter of growing up in the world today, it is undeniably an arduous task to fight for your individual existence. With the 'bling-bling' era among us, along with the feigned crap disseminated by the contemporary pop iconography, Nathan Ferraro, 16, has combined his talent with like-minded Ryan Horning, 17, Lance Lawson, 16, Adam Beamish, 18, and Daenen Bramberger,16, who are etching out creations away from the aforementioned musical idioms. Something more heartening and sincere; something more authentic and passionate. Amalgamating traditional instrumentation with a modernization of operation, the Midway State brings sounds of casual tempo with punk suggestions. The lyrics contain an essence of truth and self-recognizance, encouraging one to reminisce through the nostalgia of once-forgot memoirs. Further than that, the full product can be best described as identifiable, poignant and from-the-heart. While the five members have just recently received their learner's permits to drive, they can be considered entrusted members of the music talent pool. Conquering their respected instruments at such young ages, allowed each member to fashion their tuneful ears to the sound they felt most comfortable with. Most would circumscribe the band under the guise of 'emo', The Midway State takes no negative notion of that adjective being attached to them; allowing people to classify them under any genre that they feel comfortable with: It is all music at the end of the day. Within each individual member there is a sense of idealism and wonder, not yet tainted by the mêlée of fending for a metaphorical stage of post-adolescence, something that isn't heard enough in today's music. They still are experiencing the high school relationships that are always forgotten and the disregard from the aged bureaucratic music industry that has stopped thinking about the promise and capacity that music still can hold. The Midway State encapsulates the potential to stir up old images, to question the path we all have taken since 'growing up'.
