Melbourne Indie-Rockers MID CITY have today released their much-anticipated sophomore EP Wishing For The Best, a body of work that flourishes in a narrative landscape that explores the human condition in all its beauty and imperfections.

The band has built its foundation on monstrous, uplifting choruses and melodies, and is the result of a strong partnership between chief songwriters Joel Griffith and Ben Woodmason

“I trust him more in his vision for things, because of the time we’ve spent together,” Joel says. “I think that self-assuredness is what we’re trying to get to come through in the songs, but it’s a reflection of that maturing. The longer we go, the more I’m appreciating that everybody starts to believe in themselves, believe in the band and believe in each other. The best music comes from that.”

Alongside the EP, MID CITY has also released the new clip for the standout single ‘Good For It’. Premiered through Notion, the clip is a self-portrait that features the band members’ closeups layered to create an honest and emotive visual metaphor.

Of the video, Joel Griffiths writes “COVID’s been a b*tch for everyone here in Victoria. But not even a deadly global pandemic will stop this MID CITY train. Four guys, four bedrooms, one surprisingly delicate iso-inspired clip for you. In a funny, fateful way, isolation was a blessing. It forced us to stand back from the day-to-day hustle, turn inward and create something that reflected the outcast and heartbroken vibes of both the song and our time together/apart this year. Who knew a big, brash rock band could be so introspective? Not us.

With translating their live energy into their music at the band’s core it was only natural that as soon as possible the band would hit the road to tour their newest work. 

Having today also announced a run of live dates Joel writes “Never in the history of up-start rock n roll bands has a group of people been this excited to get back to what they do best. One year away is an eternity in music and we intend to make up for every second of lost time with all the blood, sweat and happy tears we can muster”.
