One To Watch: Midnight Juggernauts

Already getting name checked as one of their favourite new bands by Justice and the like, Midnight Juggernauts have built a strong reputation for head-numbing live shows. Having supported The Klaxons and Digitalism, they now take to the road for a mini UK tour playing two dates in the Big Smoke.

They are headlining Club NME at Koko on 23rd May just after their debut album ‘Dystopia’ gets released on the super trendy Institubes label.

Sounding somewhere between Giorgio Mordor and The Rapture, this Australian band deserve any hype they get. It’s clear on tracks like ‘Into The Galaxy’ that they have mastered electrifying bursts of blistering pop perfectly designed for these attention-short times.

Midnight Juggernauts
Thurs 22nd May, Amersham Arms, London
Fri 23rd May, KOKO, London, Club NME
