Midwest Indie Rock, Etc. — White Stripes, Black Keys, Wilco, Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair and 2018

[cosmonot]

Here's a playlist featuring the best of modern Midwest rock bands *plus* a bunch of unsigned 2018 groups that could be next. If you make music in the Midwest ...

• Michigan
• Ohio
• Illinois
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• Indiana
• Wisconsin
• Iowa
• Nebraska
• Kansas
• North Dakota
• South Dakota

...and want to be considered, feel free to post a link below. Also: If you have suggestions to add to the "classics" (like those bands listed at the top), definitely chime in. Keeping it to one song per artist at the moment.

Really dig this song, although it's not a "Midwest" song. (You guys are from BC, eh?). I will definitely keep this in mind for other playlists. Thanks!
