Midwesterners offers sixteen memorable tracks that helped pioneer emotional punk rock as we know it with Hawthorne Heights' trademark melodies and hooks.

Guitarist Eron Bucciarelli explains, 'These songs represent what we feel are the best songs we produced during the first phase of our career (over a four-year span) and chart our growth as songwriters, musicians and humans as we travel through life's sometimes tumultuous experiences. On this album you have five songs from our first album, five songs from our second album, four from our third and two b-sides that we thought you should all have in your collection.'
