Episode 087: Midtown w/ Rob Hitt
Midtown was an American pop-punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Midtown was formed in November 1998 by three Rutgers University students but soon became a quartet. The group released three full-length studio albums and three extended plays before disbanding in 2005.
You can hear a better intro about the band in Heath’s interview.
