\nOur objective in making this EP was to offer folks perception into the completely different music we listened to rising up that finally led us into doing Midtown. Believe it or not, Rob Hitt and I butted heads after we met as 14-year-olds. He teased me for sporting striped socks\u2014which he thought of \u201cgrunge\u201d and clearly not as cool because the ska revival argyle socks he was donning.<\/p>\n
A number of years later we might make up and begin Midtown, however in these days I used to be taking the bus into the town each weekend to see bands like Superchunk, Sonic Youth, and certainly one of my favorites, Pavement. I keep in mind being on the Pavement present on the Roseland, trying round, and realizing that I used to be in all probability the one 14 12 months outdated child in a crowd that was largely school children. And as a lot as I liked Crooked Rain<\/em>, I used to be just a bit twerp and one thing within me wished to interrupt shit. When I found that there have been hardcore exhibits taking place in VFW halls quarter-hour from me, I ended taking the bus into the town each weekend and began immersing myself on the earth that ultimately spawned Midtown. But nonetheless, the information I listened to once I was first falling in love with music will need to have formed my journey as a result of I hold going again to them 12 months after 12 months. \u201cCut Your Hair\u201d was the primary track I heard from Pavement, which turned me on to an album that turned certainly one of my all time favorites\u2014 thanks for letting us share it with you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nHear Midtown\u2019s \u201cCut Your Hair\u201d cowl under together with their beforehand launched tackle Lagwagon\u2019s \u201cKnow It All.\u201d<\/p>\n
