Description:

This group is dedicated to the fusion between indie rock and emo hardcore, also known as midwest style emo.

Midwest emo is a subgenre of emo hardcore/indie rock . Basically it's slow, melodic music with personal lyrics, early post-hardcore sounding guitars and indie rock style vocals + traditional emo screaming.
The very first midwest emo act was a band called Sunny Day Real Estate (you do know them, right?)

You can check out some contemporary midwest emo bands here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFdZEXKYH8M

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but I'm a really big fan of midwestmo and I think if you like bands like Knapsack, Lync or The Promise Ring then you might like my band Robot Company, please check it out and let me know what you think! http://www.last.fm/music/Robot+Company

http://www.facebook.com/bouquetemo check out bouquet! Progressive, melodic, heavy and spacious, think Soundgarden meets Mogwai in a blender and served with a side salad and the best chips you've ever tasted...

The fact they where in the charts doesn't mean they're in the group's connections list. It only means that lots of group members like this band and nothing else.
