A snapshot: Midwestern Decline...

Midwestern Decline is a small DYI record label based out of Ft. Wanye Indiana. The label is participating member of the Black Heart Mountain Culture Collective. With a range of releases available either physically or digitally, it would seem the label is focused and committed to cultivating the collective craft of the bands associated with the label and other like minded artist within the collective. Offering music from a wide array of bands from Indiana and surrounding states (Michigan and Illinois to name a couple), there is a solid assortment of styles to choose from. Whether it's the thundering hardcore of Karloff, the churning grind of Cloud Rat, or the blackened atmospheres of Coffin Maker; Midwestern Decline provides a platform for its bands to develop and hone their chosen art. They are a home grown Indiana label to follow and support.
