Midstokke has just turned from bad ass to the next Big thing
author: Chunk
In short, the sound of the band has matured though the albums to the great sound it has now become. The biggest thing noticed is the harmony the band displays when they play, every aspect of the band meld together to make a truly wondrous sound to behold. If you haven’t heard them yet, I strongly recommend that you do, and this new album is a great one to start out on!

Rock N Roll Messiahs For A New Generation

Private Stokke/ Midstokke
Midstokke Music 2005
What a breath of fresh air! Recently all radio stations have been plagued with overly depressing/aggressive music that makes you want to sit in your one-bedroom apartment and hate yourself. But have no fear! We've been sent another rock n' roll savior! From Seattle, rockers and rollers I introduce you to, Midstokke! These guys know how to lay it down, and lay it down good with rock-out-loud lyrics and music that can only be matched by Black Crows or Aerosmith. The band's debut release, 'Private Stokke' is one of the best album I've heard this year. The songs run the admittedly limited gamut of the rock'n'roll game, from the out-and-out rockers "Rising Sun", "Rubbafunk," and the mid-tempo swagger of "Questions" . Excellent songwriting, all-out musicianship, strong vocals and the right kick ass attitude to put it all across to a new generation. All in all, this is just really GREAT straight-forward, good-time rock and roll that has a classic rock feel, with a slightly updated edge. I hope that these guys not only stay around for a really long time, giving us MORE of their great music, but also that they are an influence on the music industry in general so that we see more great bands like them in the future. I look forward to Midstokke’s future efforts, they will definitely be spinning in my CD player as long as they are releasing 'em. The bottom line, if you like the catchiness of some of the rock that you hear on the radio these days but despise the pop that accompanies much of it and/or if you enjoy the solid instrumental musical quality of true classic rock 'n' roll, CHECK THIS BAND OUT! Huge Kudos, Midstokke! Keep it up!
