Mighty Midgets takes pride in writing evocative songs; often with political and personally charged lyrics. The band tries to keep a somewhat educated and positive outlook in their songs yet deals with serious subjects such as racism, homophobia, free speech and the state of the environment.
Mighty Midgets' earlier releases include the EP Plug-N-Pray (2008) on their own label 5FeetUnder Records, the split 7" (2007) with the Copenhagen band Stars Burn Stripes also on 5FeetUnder Records and a split CD (2006) with German band The Cakes on Canadian AMP Records. Furthermore, the band has contributed songs to various compilations around the globe.
Mighty Midgets has recorded twelve new songs for their coming album Raising Ruins for the Future. It will be released March 26th as a co-operation between Shattered Thought Records, Deadlamb Records and 5FeetUnder Records. The album was recorded at 5FeetUnder Studio in Aalborg, Denmark, in the band's spare time and free evenings during 2009. The record is mixed and mastered by Jacob Bredahl (Last Mile and former Hatesphere) at Smart & Hard Studio in Århus, Denmark in January 2010.
The band is known for their energetic live performance and their humour. People that have seen Mighty Midgets doesn't forget it, unless they join the band for the after party.
The band takes lots of pride in writing political songs, but some of the songs also have a personal theme. Mighty Midgets is anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-fascist and anti-homophobic, but the band is also anti-political-correctness and believes that it's important that people make up their own minds.
