Another big highlight of the month: Cleveland indie-punk band Signals Midwest released its sixth full-length album, a collection of B-sides and rarities from its 17 years of music-making. Layovers features 12 new-to-us tracks from various Signals eras, showcasing the band’s growth over the years. It arrived on July 25 from Lauren Records.
"When I look at the tracklist, it feels like a way to trace my life and our band’s existence,” says singer-guitarist Max Stern in a news release.
