STORY:
Daniel had a dream. Not like a daydream. An actual dream that you have when you're sleeping. A week and a half later, David called Daniel and said we need to record music together. Daniel said, "I know. I dreamt we were in a recording studio recording an album together. I've already heard the songs, and they're really good." David and Daniel spent the following years doing their best to record the songs from the dream. That brings us to today. We call ourselves MIDWAY.
