Midwestern Death is a five piece alt-country/folk rock band from Rockford IL made of veteran musicians from all different categories. The songs are stories of forgotten high school sweethearts, factory workers and youth drenched in liquor. The music is honest. The lyrics ring true. The band is real.
"Midwestern Death is not just another cheap knockoff of a major act, or another lonely cover band. Its a group with something to say, a sound of its own, and the musical talent to boot."(Brandon Reid Associate Editor TRRT)
