The Midnight Ghost Train was an American rock band that specialized in a heavy, blues-infused brand of sludgy stoner rock. Hailing from Topeka, Kansas, the band was founded in 2008 by guitarist and vocalist Steve Moss. Known for their intense live performances and relentless touring schedule, The Midnight Ghost Train carved out a niche in the underground rock scene, enticing fans with their raw energy and soulful grit. They managed to champion a sound that was both thunderous and melodic, invoking the spirits of the American South with a contemporary twist on rock n' roll traditions.

Over the course of their career, The Midnight Ghost Train released a handful of well-received albums that captured the full spectrum of their explosive artistry. "Buffalo," released in 2012, established their presence in the scene, while "Cold Was the Ground" (2015) solidified their status with its heavy riffs and compelling songwriting. Their final studio album, "Cypress Ave" (2017), marked a departure from their heavier roots, showcasing a broader range of styles and musical experimentation that hinted at a band unafraid to evolve. Despite their evolution in sound, the band maintained its core identity with tracks like "Tonight," "The Watchers Nest," and "Red Eyed Junkie Queen," all of which underscored their gritty aesthetic and maintained their stature among fans of the genre. In 2018, The Midnight Ghost Train announced an indefinite hiatus, leaving behind a legacy of raw, authentic American rock.
