I think calling them emo pop-punk as many do is mostly doing them a disservice, either by retracting potential listeners fatigued by the stalwart non-direction emo and especially pop-punk music has been taking for ages now, or by underexplaining the stylistic and influence mixture Signals Midwest is playing with. Indeed, emo is their cornerstone, but they also delve deeper into history of punk, as well as some early-days indie pop. Sounding stones throw away from either of the aforementioned genres, they cleverly navigate the very well charted waters with grace and skill.
