Ep. 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.

• The bands that influenced Midtown
• Writing really high notes in Lanemeyer
• His first band which wasn’t Professor Plum

• Gabe’s usage of big words in songs
• Buying CDs with friends and dubbing them for each other
