These guys were so underrated. Back In HS, People knew bands like MXPX, BLink, Green Day, NOFX, and Ataris, but no one knew Midtown. These guys were so great!
PunxRockNYC19 It's funny because Gabe actually got New Found Glory signed to Drive-thru Records. He was pissed when they gave NFG more opportunities than them. He eventually started Cobra Starship and got radio status like a decade later I guess?
Anton Oakenshield gabe left midtown cause he got tired of singing about depressing stuff. He wasn't making money and needed something better to sing about. That's why he left.
I listen to Midtown all the time but I can't listen to their album Forget What You Know without getting angry because of how incredibly underrated this band was.
Midtown is so much more than just a pop punk band. Their music has outlasted that genre while all those other bands have faded away. Midtown has that lasting appeal and substance that a lot of their label mates just didn't have. I still love this band...
They're from my small hometown in New Jersey. Being a teenage musician in a band myself, I think it's so awesome to see a band from my small little hometown achieve so much success. Just something I had to get out there :D
Every time this song ends my brain expects System of a Down's Sugar to start playing. I guess I had a burned CD with these two songs next to each other. Good times!
Midtown used to be my favorite band, so good loved One Last Time, Perfect, Direction.. ahh soooo good. Even followed Gabe Saporta over to Cobra Starship. Wish Midtown got the recognition they deserved.
I just hope people will never forget about midtown,its sad enough that bands like this get forgotten about because the kids who listened to them get older, but hopefully there will still be a need for bands like these
I love this song. XD I like Bethanys comment... "THe music is always there though... In our hearts and on our iPods." Midtown is amazing. So is Cobra Starship. I love both bands so much.
Still remember when I saw this video on 2002 from punkrockvideos or fuse, I play over and over again even it's already 3am and I have a class at 7am in the morning.
This kinda style of music is my roots. Like I listened to all the old school punk and rock and metal and yeah . Theses band where my roots. But now I listen to black metal and death metal and slam death metal band technical death metal and burtal death metal. Those are what I listen to now a days
This is so different from Cobra Starship, I can't imagine that Gabe would ever stop Cobra to do this, but it's really cool seeing him with two different genres of music. (:
Oh and another thing... listen to the lyrics. "And if I fall away/Someday you might find me". Maybe thats something saying "I'm not who I thought I was... Might try something new... And maybe I'll come back to this."
Love Midtown, love Gabe, love Cobra - don't see why comparing them is necessary, he chose to start doing something completely different because he wanted to, not to please people.
Dudes. Why does it matter that G.a.b.e. got sick of being in Midtown? So Midtown is over... so are alot of other bands. Bands come and go... The music is always there though... in our hearts and on our iPods.
CSB warning. I met a girl studying abroad in Madrid in 2002. She came to visit me in the summer of 2004 and we went to a Midtown show in Philly between my undergrad and law school. We got drunk and made out in some hotel. Great summer. We tried to stay together in a very long distance relationship. And you know how those go. Anyway, I would belt out this song and always pine for her. But, as I said... long-distance relationships never work out. Just kidding, 14 years later, after law school and being apart from her for so long .... she's my wife. We live in Madrid with our two beautiful daughters. We still make out in hotels. Thanks Midtown, this song made me terribly sad for three years; now it makes me immeasurably happy. Que os sea leve, compis.

+Anthony Aguirre I know! I love Midtown! But I also love the others you mentioned too :P
Don't forget Jimmy Eat World and The Starting Line.
i knew of Midtown. so underrated. i wish they didnt break up, they could have been on New Found Glory status. they were that good.

Very good underrated early 2000s band
Check out action action. Criminally underrated as well
Holy shit, this is exactly the sound that made me fall in love with pop-punk. Makes me feel like it's 1999 all over again.
Matt Fraser LOL this song is great live
Right there with you man! Such a nostalgic era…
the greatest harmony that has ever existed in rock music.
heath is my big brother and there is nothing i love more then watching old midtown videos! so proud of you heathy :)
I had the honor to share the stage with these guys back then. Rob Hitt is an amazing drummer and a gentleman.
Awesome.
I listen to Midtown all the time but I can't listen to their album Forget What You Know without getting angry because of how incredibly underrated this band was.
Oh my god how have I never heard this band? So incredible.
These guys still always impress me with the harmonies...them and treos are like the only bands I feel use them to their full potential

I still can't believe they cut out the breakdown before the final chorus for the video.. best part of the whole song!
It’s too much for a single to have solo / bridge / another solo , I know I love it too much they need to cut for mainstream that’s how it works
@@joelbartortrue but it’s only 10 seconds
They're from my small hometown in New Jersey. Being a teenage musician in a band myself, I think it's so awesome to see a band from my small little hometown achieve so much success. Just something I had to get out there :D
Saw them open for blink 182 in 2001 with new found glory. Such a good show, miss them.
My favorite band in 2003. Wished me happy birthday in a club they were playing with catch 22.
This is called POWER POP. So underrated. ❤
Going back and reminding myself of this awesome band because they're opening for the My Chem show I'm going to next month. Can't wait!
I LOVE HOW THIS SOUNDS! im obsessed with cobra, but ive never given midtown a chance. now im inlove
I remember they opened for blink 182 back in 2001's take off your pants and jacket tour...Instantly became a fan!! so underated
Every time this song ends my brain expects System of a Down's Sugar to start playing. I guess I had a burned CD with these two songs next to each other. Good times!
Just saw Midtown in December 2023 and they're still good as ever.
i dindt know they still existed
@@expertonmusic they did a show in NJ last year around Christmas and they said it's going to be an annual thing
Apparently it wasn't an "annual" thing since they didnt do it this year lol
They created a classic video in the contemporary. much wow.
...very good songwriting, so many different voices singing great! ...what a shame Midtown broke up!
Opened for my chem... best part of the show.
I miss those days really a classic song !
This song is still in my college playlist.
I saw them live yesterday with MCR!!
And idk you can really hear the early 2000s in this song
Dude I know .. I’d do anything to go back 😭😭😭
still listening them 2022. epic glory
Midtown used to be my favorite band, so good loved One Last Time, Perfect, Direction.. ahh soooo good. Even followed Gabe Saporta over to Cobra Starship. Wish Midtown got the recognition they deserved.
Every time I listen to this song it takes me back to 2003.
Anyone feeling nostalgic these guys are playing dec 2022 starland. 20th anniversary tour
This song goes back to my early days of loving music and becoming a drummer
omg this is really music !!!!!
Who knew 2022 and covid would bring them back, let's gooooo
Certified classic
I forgot how good these guys are! 🤘 2020
its so weird to watch this video!!! they all were so young! i still have a soft spot in my heart for midtown!
I just hope people will never forget about midtown,its sad enough that bands like this get forgotten about because the kids who listened to them get older, but hopefully there will still be a need for bands like these
It’s 12 years after you posted your comment and I have not forgotten about them.
Just saw them play last weekend on their reunion tour. Whole audience knew every word. They’re still special to a lot of us.
been 13 years since your comment, i love midtown 🫶
its been 15 years since i havent heard this song
Gabe was amazing then and he's amazing now.
Long live Midtown.
Long live Cobra Starship.
i dont know about you guys but to me this is music. a singer, drummer guitarist... no fucking computer sounds, and auto-tuned songs.
I love this song. XD I like Bethanys comment... "THe music is always there though... In our hearts and on our iPods." Midtown is amazing. So is Cobra Starship. I love both bands so much.
good shit. heath looks so young. crazy.
Bring back Midtown!
Still remember when I saw this video on 2002 from punkrockvideos or fuse, I play over and over again even it's already 3am and I have a class at 7am in the morning.
good times, good times!
Wow you can HEAR the early 2000s in this
good music
perfection
boy! mark zuckenberg really rocks back in the days
Great song
This is so much better than his Cobra stuff. Miss you Midtown!
good song guys
This kinda style of music is my roots. Like I listened to all the old school punk and rock and metal and yeah . Theses band where my roots. But now I listen to black metal and death metal and slam death metal band technical death metal and burtal death metal. Those are what I listen to now a days
Underrated band!!
Love this man's voice
This is so different from Cobra Starship, I can't imagine that Gabe would ever stop Cobra to do this, but it's really cool seeing him with two different genres of music. (:
Just Rock And Roll
midtown .
Oldschoooool
LIKE A MOVIE〜♪
再結成して欲しいバンドNo. 1です！
I still love this band.
I miss this band. :(
Temasooo
Love this song! Good Old Fashion Pop-Punk!
cobra starship sux. midtown was awesome! dance/club music come on.
This song reminds me of summer.
Gabe said there's gonna be a Midtown reunion...I hope it's soon because I'd go to all the concerts :)
love cobra starship i really really do, but this to me is what music should sound like.
Great song when I started to listen sound like the late 90s
Oh and another thing... listen to the lyrics. "And if I fall away/Someday you might find me". Maybe thats something saying "I'm not who I thought I was... Might try something new... And maybe I'll come back to this."
Gabe, I love you! This band is amazing and so is Cobra Starship.. You're talent is bad ass either way!
i dont believe many things but i believe in you
Anything, not many things
So underrated it hurts
skate & surf 2013!!! make it happen!!
damn i've been missing out
i like them both. but i would kill to see midtown live....it's a shame i missed out on it
Awesome song just found this band i like them already.
Love Midtown, love Gabe, love Cobra - don't see why comparing them is necessary, he chose to start doing something completely different because he wanted to, not to please people.
Good band, like a movie
Dame fuerzas
i agree !!!
i like how after gabe quit this, he made something so different, he didn't try to re-hash this! i like them both, maybe cobra more though :)
Duki💥🔥🔥
Where was I when they were together? This is kick ass!
good old days
C:
back then he was mature.
Great band!
Dudes. Why does it matter that G.a.b.e. got sick of being in Midtown? So Midtown is over... so are alot of other bands. Bands come and go... The music is always there though... in our hearts and on our iPods.
song brings me back to HS
