Signals Midwest returns with a new album called Dent next month.

Set for release on April 8 (Lauren Records), the new LP was produced by J. Robbins and, the band says, "This entire album was an accident based on another accident. A cancelled tour and a stolen + totaled van (that now adorns the cover of the record) led to some free time and a small studio budget, and with that came a flurry of ideas that all poured out at once."

Dent is the group's fifth album, recorded in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021.

The band just shared a new single too, "Gold in the Grey," song #6 on the upcoming record.

1. BLIND CONTOUR

Dent
Lauren Records (2022)

Signals Midwest play punk with a lot of words. Words arranged in actual sentences, telling stories instead of using the lyrics for purely rhythmic and singalong purposes. Dent is their fifth album, and it’s the first I’ve personally reviewed even though I’ve followed the band from afar over the years. The lyrics are personal, but consistently positive in tone, which separates the … Read more

Light On The Lake
Tiny Engines (2013)

I’ve sat on this review for a while, waiting for that easy-to-describe-it moment to hit me. With Signals Midwest, I don’t know if that’s going to happen. The Cleveland band uses their Midwestern sensibility in their sound—it’s gritty, honest, and non-showy—but it’s also too distinct to tie to a geographic area. The band uses a punk influence throughout while playing … Read more

Latitudes & Longitudes
Tiny Engines (2011)

Placing the band Signals Midwest into a genre is a difficult task; their latest release Longitudes and Latitudes is a beautiful mesh of melodic interludes, upbeat pop punk and gritty punk rock. Having this many influences in your work can often lead to great things being lost in translation and the overall result being muddled. However, you can fully appreciate … Read more
