Midnight Miles can feel a change Coming On with their new boogie-rock barnburner — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The latest preview of the Montreal quintet’s upcoming EP Steal Away, Coming On is a rhythmic anthem that punctuates a combination of bright blues and rock vocals with elements of jazz. This track takes you on an exploration of the human condition and the need for change. The lyrics describe a night out that lasts too long and leaves the central character feeling disoriented and disconnected from reality, while the chorus urges the listener to get ready for whatever comes next:
“Can you feel it coming on?
Got a little bit of time to spare
Can you feel it coming on?
Everybody wanna’ get their share
Can you feel it coming on?
Just let the melody flow.”
“In writing Coming On, we wanted to express something that would encapsulate the angst that many of us felt throughout the pandemic. That yearning to break free, try new things and feel unburdened,” says singer Ryan Setton. He continues, “Like a shot of riff-driven rock ‘n’ roll adrenaline, Coming On is about all the infinite possibilities awaiting us just around the corner, so close you can almost taste it.”
The Steal Away EP is filled with classic rock sounds including other bangers like Don’t Worry (‘Bout A Thing) and is a perfect backdrop for going on long countryside road trips or riding through the city, as the fluidity of their music makes your mind and spirit roam free. “The name of the EP Steal Away is taken from the first line of one of our songs, Last Time, and literally means to escape or sneak off, which conveys the general feeling and mindset of the record,” Setton explains.
Along with Setton, Midnight Miles includes Justin Wiley (drums), Shaun Ryan (bass), Paul Lucyk (guitar & backing vocals) and Peter Grant (guitar & backing vocals). They have gained a reputation for their electrifying and liberating live performances and have often been compared to The Black Keys and Black Crowes, thanks to their dynamic and exciting rock sounds.
