The right song can find us right when we need it most, instantly transporting us back to another time in our lives. Music has the rare ability to freeze moments in time, capturing the emotions, experiences, and memories that might otherwise start to fade. This is the concept behind Minute After Midnight’s latest album, Matter of Time.
Minute After Midnight is the musical project of Derrick Ryan and bridges the gaps between alt-rock, emo, pop punk, and metal. With this release, Derrick aimed to bring back the alt energy of the classic 2010s “Warped Tour” era while focusing on the concept of time.
I had the pleasure of catching up with Derrick recently to discuss his perseverance before being signed by Fearless Records, the success of his song “Ghost” (if you haven’t heard the “reimagined” version of "Ghost" yet, you aren’t truly living!), and, of course, all about Matter of Time.
