London After Midnight is a musical project from United States formed by the singer, songwriter and multi-intrumentalist Sean Brennan in 1990. The live band varies and often changes but include Sean Brennan in vocals, guitar, keyboard, video, all programming, Randy Mathias in bass, Pete Pace in drums and Matthew Setzer in guitar.
Sean Brennan is known for his strong stances in favor of animal rights, pro-environmental and human rights issues, anti-corporate control of media, and support for progressive and liberal political and social causes. Whatever the approach or subject matter, the music of London After Midnight is deeply touching, powerful, socially aware, romantic, emotional, disturbing, haunting, moving, and often exhibits a morbid wit with its sardonic humor.
If well Sean has mentioned don't like label the London  After Midnight music specially with the term "gothic" (curious because in LAM myspace says gothic), the sound of the band is unique, combining Gothic Rock, Darkwave, and a bit (very bit) of Industrial from their last album .
Despite this, LAM has gained a lot of loyal  followers specially from gothic  subculture around the world, above all in Europe, EEUU, Latin America, Japan, China and elsewhere they have visited fortunately.
In 2006 their song "Fear" appear in Saw II soundtrack.
Almost 20 years of carrer with four studio albums of  excellent quality to date with their own sound and thematics a little unusually in this dark atmosphere.
