St. Louis punk band Mid Tempo Death March has released their latest single, “Long Way Back,” accompanied by a new video directed by Steve Bull. The track offers another preview of the group’s forthcoming EP, scheduled for release later this summer.
Known for blending the melodic grit of Midwestern punk with an emotive undercurrent, Mid Tempo Death March draws on influences ranging from classic melodic hardcore to early emo and post-punk. Their sound positions them alongside contemporaries such as Dillinger Four and Banner Pilot, while maintaining a distinct voice rooted in the St. Louis DIY scene.
“Long Way Back” builds on the momentum of the band’s debut single and showcases a dynamic range—balancing driving mid-tempo rhythms with introspective lyrics and layered melodies. The accompanying video highlights the band’s raw, unpolished aesthetic, staying true to their independent ethos.
Mid Tempo Death March remains an emerging voice within the Midwest punk landscape, steadily building a dedicated following. With a new EP on the horizon, the band is poised to further establish themselves in the scene.
