"In a day where metal and hardcore has an endless litany of sub-genres tagged at it left and right, Chicago, IL's Angel Eyes effortlessly and boldly defy genre classification and simple explanation. "Midwestern", their newest creation, is an album of moral indignation, a call to arms in a declining economy. It's relatable to any of us that have struggled and fought and clawed over these past few years only to end up having to struggle harder in the end,with no end of worrying in sight. 

Since playing their first show in 2003,the band has released a demo called "01" (2004, self released), a full length entitled "Something To Do With Death" (2005, Underground Communique), an ep entitled "...And For The Roof, A Sky Full of Stars (2007, UndergroundCommunique), and a split 12" with German spazz/noise crazies A Fine Boat, ThisCoffin (2009, Concubine Records). "Midwestern" marks their second full length album and a culmination of experiences both musically and personally that couldn't help but explode in the violent manner captured within these songs. It was recorded by Greg Norman at Electrical Audio (Pelican, Russian Circles, SweetCobra) and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service (Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard, Earth, Om, Jawbox), with artwork painted by Marnie Galloway and album design and layout by N. Shumaker/Northern Lights Industries (The Cure, Caspian,Gifts From Enola)."
