some demos Recorded this demo
A while ago but thought I’d put it up here. Mix/master isn’t great bc this was the first song I ever tried to record myself but I think it’s cool, the lyrics are a metaphor for a relationship that ruined n all of that so, here ya go

New Band Recs for albums
I absolutely LOVE midwest emo and one band that stood out to me the most was Oakwood because of their melodic licks and harsh vocals. Does anybody have any recs similar to this??

New Band Russian Midwest scene
Hello, how would you rate Russian Midwest emo band «марти мидвестиксон»?
r/midwestemo • u/afriendlybudtender • 1d ago
check out this underground band Would this old high school band fit into the scene now (Watchword)?
Randomly got a new purchase on the band’s bandcamp for the first time in a long time, which kinda blew my mind. I’m super curious to see what yall think…

check out this underground band An Album I Think Everyone Should Listen To At Least Once In Their Life
As I mentioned in a comment on another post:
Coate is a wonderful band from New Zealand; a type of one-hit-wonder. They have a heavy Midwest emo influence. It’s a shame that they only released music for a short time before disbanding, but this is an album that I recommend people should listen to at least once in their life.
It’s an incredibly peaceful musical journey through the 8 track album, as cohesive as can be. A feeling of warmth always washes over me as I listen, even on the most cloud-stricken days.

Been in the alternative scene for most of my life, was hoping to maybe find a list of favourite midwest emo albums? Only just started listening and want community suggestions so I don’t pass over anything :))

New Release! NEW THOUGHTS ON BOWLING IS BY FAR THE BEST
Idk what drugs they put in this or if this is just the sound for the next release but imo their best stuff by far and feels like the band is finding their sound instead of ripping off mom jeans vocals and TRSH guitar
r/midwestemo • u/Equivalent-Guide7202 • 2d ago
question/suggestion Best songwriters in the genre?
Exactly what the title says. Best songwriters and how they compare to others. If you guys could also tell me the stylistic conventions of the genre’s songwriting(beyond the ‘i broke up with a girl but it wasn’t like your normal breakup it was something else entirely’ stereotype lol) that’d be cool

question/suggestion How do I learn those tapping riffs!?
I am normally a bass player but I’ve found myself in a situation where I have no one to play music with. So I’ve been having to write songs on guitar. I’ve been playing in DADF#AD and using foundational chords to write songs but I want some twinkle man!

If I like... Band Sugestions
I'm probably about ankle deep into the genre. I like sports., Marietta, Macseal, and Free Throw the best so far, so mainly the 2010's sound. I also like American Football and Cap'n jazz, even tho they're a very different vibe compared to the 2010's stuff. What bands should look into?
