Better Than Lego starts off with a laugh track and a voice-over of the title’s name being chanted before dropping away, with the crunchy guitar riff taking the spotlight. Airy vocals float around in the track, with hints of reminiscences and longing woven into the tone. The track immerses you into the world of Midway, as they take you on a trip down memory lane and guide you through the streets of Newcastle.

Better Than Lego may be Midway’s final send-off for 2022, however, you can expect 2023 to be another jam-packed year for the band, with more shows and tracks to be announced, so make sure to keep your eyes and ears peeled for Midway’s next move. Listen to Better Than Lego via Spotify below.
