Midnight riders might be the best fictional band this side of the zombie apocalypse.
I love southern rock, but I hate that most southern rock bands are infected by glam tendencies. Anyone who listened to drowning pool know what I'm talking about. The replacement vocalist ran that band straight into the ground.
The midnight riders may not actually exist, but their music kicks ASS. And they aren't afraid of the green flu.
Midnight ride, and one bad man, and all I want for christmas (is to kick your ass) are by far some of the best southern rock songs I've ever heard.
Major credit to them working in sleigh bells on the last one.
