Midnight Creeps – “Doomed From the Get Go”

Released in 2002 through Rodent Popsicle Records, Doomed From the Get Go stands as the ferocious debut full-length studio album from Providence garage-punks Midnight Creeps. Recorded at Galaxy Park Studios, the record perfectly captures the band’s sleazy, high-octane trade-off between classic 1970s proto-punk grit and unhinged, turn-of-the-century street punk. Frontwoman Jenny Hurricane’s snarling vocals drive the ship, drawing immediate comparisons to the reckless energy of Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics, while the rhythm section roots the songs in a relentless punk-and-roll pocket heavily inspired by The Stooges and Motörhead. The album relies on blistering riffs and zero pretense, turning anthems like The Ballad of GG and Toiletbowl Suicide into absolute standouts that solidify the group’s reputation for unfiltered, back-alley attitude.
