Search - Various Artists :: Defunct Indiana

Containing 17 indie, experimental, and hardcore artists from Indiana's past, this compilation features some of the best music from Indiana-based, now-defunct bands. The eleven-year period from 1995 to 2006 saw the emergence and demise of some truly incredible groups. Some of these bands come from reputable labels such as Secretly Canadian (Ativin, Intro to Airlift), Mammoth (Fabric), Hawthorne Street (Majhas), Standard Recording Co. (BIGBIGcar), Happy Couples Never Last (Mara'Akate), Friction (Ari Ari), and Joyful Noise (Melk the g6-49). But other bands self-destructed long before a proper release sealed their place in history. This is the true reason for Defunct Indiana--to preserve some incredible music from little-known artists, and to give these bands a small portion of the attention they deserve.
