4 Past Midnight started off as a straight forward punk band, from Glasgow released our first demo cassette in 1990 titled pain for profit, many releases came after,

2017 saw the band make a drastic change, not just in the music, but also the look of the band changed, aiming for a more Gothic brash styled attire, singer Peter McCartney started to form his new alter ego - The reinventer of Brilliance, and later becoming The King Of Brilliance, this persona, at first wasn't received well with the staunch punk crowd, but Peter persevered and in time started to win people over with the new look.

2018 saw Peter leave the drum stool behind as a drummer a new drummer was introduced, and Peter became solely the lead singer 

More line up changes followed, and by 2023 additions Paul Lead Guitar and Martin Bass Guitar and Martin Drums 

Peter and Fred Stevenson at this time the remain originals 

Fast forward to 2026 and we are about to release another new record ‘Eternity’ on 28th October, which sees them taking a more Gothic style route with the music, while still keeping some of the punk elements in place, the first release from this album Down on your Luck was released on the 18th July, with another single due to be released before the album release.
