New York-born and raised Patrick Bobilin and Sarah Simon have led MIDNIGHTCHOIR since 2023. The darkwave duo writes hard-hitting political anthems against driving rhythms and are gaining notoriety for their intense live performances. 

Their latest release, TEMPTATION (DEMOS), shows the band collaborating and expanding beyond their goth and post-punk influences. Post-Punk.com calls the release "brilliant": 
TEMPTATION (DEMOS) reflects the fractures of a fraught political moment, pulling no punches as it delivers its message with sharp-edged sincerity. The collection finds MIDNIGHTCHOIR pushing past their post-punk lineage. The specters of Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode linger, yet the duo transforms these influences into something rawer; something NOW.
While July 2023's Loverboy Molotov LP was made with political urgency in mind, recent songs have covered the climate crisis, corporate power, and social turmoil. Their next LP, Debtor's Disco, will be released in 2025. It takes a lighter tone, while still maintaining focus on the duo's worldly concerns. To quote the unreleased Keep Your Revolution: "You can keep your revolution/ if we can't dance to it./ Because we're not going out on our knees. / We're going out on our feet."
