Midnight Panic was a four-piece rock music group from Bakersfield, California. The band was formed in 2005 by Mark Chavez, the former lead singer of Adema.

They have since been playing shows in Bakersfield and have already launched their debut EP which is available via their website.

When Mark Chavez left Adema in late 2003 following the release of their second LP titled Unstable, he later on in the year announced that he had started a new band called "State of Mind". At first it was rumored that Mark had recruited guitarist Geno Lenardo and bassist Frank Cavanagh of the band Filter. This statement later turned out to be false.

In the summer of 2005 it was revealed that Chavez's new band name was "Midnight Panic". In addition to Chavez, the band features guitarist Peter Shubert, bassist Mike Montano and drummer Cesareo Garasa.

On December 23, 2005, the band announced that their debut EP was available for purchase via their official website. A music video for the song "Tonight Is Our Last Night" was released soon after.

During July 2007, Mark Chavez departed the band to continue on his solo project. He posted the following bulletin on July 14 to announce his departure from the band and the progression of his solo project.
