The Midnight is a synthwave band composed of New York based singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle and LA based Danish-born producer, songwriter and singer Tim McEwan.[1]

The band was formed as a result of Tyler and Tim meeting during a co-writing workshop in 2012 in North Hollywood, CA[2].[3] Inspired in part by the score for Drive and the retro synth genre growing around its release,[3] the pair wrote two singles "WeMoveForward" and "Gloria", that would be released two years later in 2014 as part of their debut EP titled Days of Thunder.[4] In 2016, the duo released a 12 track LP Endless Summer,[5] followed in 2017 with the release of Nocturnal,[6] which spent several weeks as a best seller on the music distribution website Bandcamp and reaching #17 on Billboard's dance/electronic charts October 2017.[7] The band went on to perform their first sell out concert at the Globe Theatre on Broadway in Los Angeles in November 2017.[8]
