Freak Accident - Midnight Show (LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. The 5th album by The Freak Accident, "The Midnight Show", expands the known universe of what the SF band is capable of. The heavy parts are heavier, the punk parts are punkier, the noise is noisier and the improv parts are improv-ier; while somehow simultaneously creating the catchiest Freak Accident album to date. Ralph Spight (vocals/ guitar), Henry Austin Lannan (bass/ vocals), and Stark Raving Brad (drums/ vocals) have coalesced into a band that can & does go in whatever direction they please. The Freak Accident had an inside joke about having to play last at every show, which formed the basis of the lyrics for the title track. It became a concept album of sorts; twisting through a dystopian, Sci-Fi B-movie filter where religion, death, authoritarianism, codependency, depression, entitlement, and internet trolls are all intelligently parsed and skewered with biting lyricism and a healthy heaping of humor.
