Formed in
1985 by Billy Salmon and Anthony Carite, Midnight Hero blasted onto the Philadelphia music scene and almost immediately
became weekend regulars at area clubs and venues. During the winter of
1986, the 2 were fortunate enough to acquire the services of Scott Culver and Michael Reeve. Together, the 4 would create a
nucleus that remains intact to this day, almost 2 decades later. In
no time, they were constructing their own style of hard driving, straight ahead
rock with a purely melodic sound which remains uniquely their own. Midnight Hero blends rich, powerful vocals and
guitar work worthy of notice and respect in any music community. Combined
with a powerful bottom end that is in sync like a set of cannons, the result is
nothing short of spectacular. Their music remains as relative today as it
was in 1989. More important than their individual talents is the fact
that they remain 4 of the closest friends. All 4 still believe
wholeheartedly in what they're doing.
For
almost 6 years, the band appeared every other weekend at the Galaxy in Somerdale ,New Jersey. Area club goers on any given
weekend could also regularly find the band at nightspots such as:

Billy, Anthony,
Scott and Michael truly thank everyone for their patronage and friendships over
the years. Without all of our friends, fans and acquaintances, Midnight
Hero would be nothing more than an idea. You guys made it all possible
and for that, we thank you. Here’s to another couple of decades!
Cheers!
