Midway Still

Midway Still are an alternative rock band formed in the early 1990s in Kent, England. The band recorded a Peel session in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Dial Square (1992), on the Roughneck Recordings label, which was a subsidiary of Fire Records. The album was produced by Don Fleming, and was followed by Life's Too Long in 1993 (produced by Leatherface's Frankie Stubbs). 
The band split before their third album was released, though a reunion of sorts took place in 2000, when Russell Lee replaced Jan Konopka on bass and a single, "Fuck You" was released in 2001 on Antipop Records. The band released another album, Note to Self, on Boss Tuneage in April 2010, followed by a tour. They have since toured in Japan, twice, in 2010 and 2012 for the "Note to Self" and "Always Ends" albums, respectively. Currently the band members are: Paul Thomson (guitar & vocals), Dec Kelly (drums), and Russell Lee (bass & backing vocals).
==Links to Peel==
Peel played the band's debut single, 'I Won't Try' in August 1991. The single was also NME's single-of-the-week . Impressed by their records, Peel invited the group to do a session for his show in September 1991 where they performed four tracks. Further material from the band were played on his shows until 1993, but he never played any tracks from their last album, 'Life's Too Long'., which was produced by Leatherface's Frankie Stubbs, a band that Peel often played on his shows.
