The Midnight Riders decided to spend the next two years working on their first album, enjoying a little time away from the spotlight, and serving eight to ten years for aggravated assault in the federal correctional facility at Fort Worth. That band was Love Supply, they sucked, and on a fateful day in 1983, their opening act, the Midnight Riders, beat them so bad onstage that they became instantly famous. In 1983, with their chart-topping songs and the grassroots support of their loyal fanbase, four young men from Galveston, Texas became the most popular band in America.

Their songs can be played on jukeboxes found in ' The Parish, ' Swamp Fever', ' The Passing' and ' The Sacrifice'. Graffiti in the final safe room of the ' Dark Carnival' campaign mentions that the Midnight Riders were evacuated out by helicopter ahead of the general population. It is hinted they escaped from the horde, even after refusing to stop their tour after the Green Flu came over. Alternate versions of these are played when Tanks attack during their concert: 'One Bad Tank' and 'Midnight Tank'. A jukebox in a café has their songs ' One Bad Man' and ' Midnight Ride'. They were scheduled to play at the Peach Pit in Whispering Oaks Amusement Park, but their performance was cancelled because of the infection.
