The first thing you notice when you see Midland is their unique throwback style in their clothes. The guys all agree that a lot of their style comes from trying to emulate their dads’ style from when they were growing up. Lead singer Mark Wystrach says, “From a very young impressionable age, for me, I was just coming out of the 70s into the early 80s, and for me I was a small little impressionable child watching how my dad dressed. My dad wore tight wranglers with French cut, beautiful Paul Bond handmade boots in Nogales, Sonora, with a huge gold belt buckle and a big gold chain and I’d see the way that my dad dressed and to me that’s what I am reminiscent and nostalgic for.”
You can not only see that nostalgia in Midland’s clothes, but also hear it in their debut single, “Drinkin’ Problem,” and all of the music on their self-titled EP, which is available now.
