Mighty Midgets released their debut album “Raising Ruins for the Future” in March 2010, as a co-operation between Shattered Thought Records, Deadlamb Records and 5FeetUnder Records. The album was recorded at 5FeetUnder Studio in Aalborg, Denmark, in the band’s spare time and free evenings during 2009. The record is mixed and mastered by Jacob Bredahl (Last Mile and former Hatesphere) at the Dead Rat Studio in Århus, Denmark in January 2010. The album has received worldwide critical acclaim and made onto quite a few top lists of 2010. In June 2011 the band released a 4-way international split with Revenge of the Psychotronic Man (UK), Fist of the North Star (USA) and Broken Aris (Sweden) including six new songs. Mighty Midgets' earlier releases include the EP Plug-N-Pray (2008) on their own label 5FeetUnder Records, the split 7" (2007) with the Copenhagen band Stars Burn Stripes also on 5FeetUnder Records and a split CD (2006) with German band The Cakes on Canadian AMP Records. Furthermore, the band has contributed songs to various compilations around the globe. Mighty Midgets takes pride in writing evocative songs; often with political and personally charged lyrics. The band tries to keep a somewhat educated and positive outlook in their songs yet deals with serious subjects such as racism, homophobia, free speech and the state of the environment. www.mightymidgets.dk DISCOGRAPHY: “4-way International Split w/ Revenge of the Psychotronic Man, Fist of the North Star & Broken Aris” (CD 2011, TNS Records, Stik Man Records, 5FeetUnder Records) “Raising Ruins for the Future” (CD 2010, Shattered Thought Records, Deadlamb Records, 5FeetUnder Records) “Plug-N-Play” (CD 2008, 5FeetUnder Records) “Split w/ Stars Burn Stripes” (7” 2007, 5FeetUnder Records) “Split w/ the Cakes” (Cd 2006, 5FeetUnder Records) + Countless national and international compilations REVIEWS: "The band handle their instruments with almost sexual expertise and each and every component ejaculates a valid contribution to the end pool of sonic semen. The outsider feeling of not being understood or even noticed is disaffected punk incarnate and delivered with erudite sharpness that I am happy to be sliced up by. " Fungal Punk, Ireland "Danish people which is really angry and you who think this is Gasolin, DAD or similar must think again because this is really fast punkrock which is the thing for this group and I think that you are into early American hardcore would like this a lot because this have much in common with that and together with more melodic USHC and that in a very positive way for Might Midgets and doesn?t play fast just for the sake and it´s cool because they manage to do that and this is among the best things I have heard from Denmark in a long time", Skrutt Magazine, Sweden "While still containing plenty of melody and shout-a-longs, Mighty Midgets storm through their debut without the slightest intention of slowing down, hammering hard-hitting riffs and screamed lyrics in your face like there's no end. So don't expect a breather or too many mass sing alongs if you'll see these guys live, because I believe their shows will be speed-dominated, full of aggression, tight guitars and the all the nice stuff you'll hear about in this review and on the record itself. " Rockfreaks, Denmark "This is genuinely fucking brilliant! If you like your punk rock played at lightning speed, with hardcore energy but with melodies that stick in your head for days, these guys seriously deliver." TNS Fanzine, UK "Danski sastav Mighty Midgets donosi zvuk koji nije baš karakterističan za severni deo Evrope. Melodični hardcore prepun pozitivne energije koju su momci uspeli da pretope u gro živih nastupa širom starog kontinenta." , Marko Ristic, Croatia "and if you’ve never heard of melodic hardcore well check this out anyway as it’s gonna be a good starting point to introduce you to genre."
