Found me an Indiana #punk / #emo band that just played a recent #PunkRockNight at the historic Melody Inn, and I missed it ... how #Pathetic! Gonna have to make it to your next gig, thanks for posting the photos!
A friend of mine got this album from Swedish band #Millencolin from his wife for Christmas, and I looked them up ... SO GOOD! #popunk with great melodies. Gonna definitely have to dig into their catalog, always great to make something old into something new :)

That's how my blind ass sees just about everything! lol ...
#Methmatics are my favorite band out of Columbus, Ohio ... they bring their raging #punkrock sound to the Melody Inn regularly enough to be considered an Indianapolis adoptee. This was their first music video, their cover of the Johnny Thunders hit "Leave Me Alone"

Time for a little #holidaymusic cheer from Indianapolis slease-legends #SloppySeconds! "Lonely Christmas," from 1992, out on Taang! Records #punkrock #junkrock If you haven't heard them before, and you dig the Ramones and 80s #punk in general, you're in for a treat!

Gonna have to add this one to my "must read" list!
Total bot move lol ...
In a mood to let my ears do some dancing ... #skapunk band The Operators, from Indianapolis, has just the right recipe. Signed to Jump-Up Records, they've actively toured the Midwest throughout 2024 and are set to break big! Skank, if you're horn-y!

In 2003 I spent a weekend riding with Revel ... in the Morning, a #punk / #metal influenced band from Muncie IN, for a college paper feature. Burning bright and fast, then fading out, "Down In Denver" still earworms its way into my head regularly.

Before Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, I first met Richard Edwards when his band Archer Avenue was playing house shows in Muncie IN back in 2003. Highly melodic, synth-focused pop mixed with #postpunk and #grindcore elements. Entire album is on Bandcamp!

I am so psyched for season two ... the most Philip K Dickian show not written by PKD himself. #Severance
Excellent ... will have to keep an eye out, so far it's not playing at the State Museum in 70mm here in Indianapolis, which is the only theater around here equipped for 70mm.
Do they have an intermission? I saw Oppenheimer in 70mm but that was pushing my limits without a chance to stretch my legs (legally blind, so can't walk around a darkened theater easily).
Good stuff! Always glad to hear this band ...
The Mighty John Waynes, formed from the ashes of Los Lurkers and Sicko and the Abnormals in 1996 in Indianapolis ... straight-up #garagepunk #punkrock you likely haven't heard, but should! Released two EPs produced by Rip-Off Records' Jim Kuczkowski.

#punkrock hedonists The Cadavers formed in Indianapolis in 1998, featuring (in their words) "blasphemous outbursts set against pounding apocalyptic music." Check out their 2000 self-titled album! It still rips. Most members now play in 9th Circle Symphony.

With members from Indianapolis and Milwaukee, #poppunk band Amuse, formed in 2015, is signed to Allegedly Records. Their latest album Horsing Around, produced by Mike Felumlee of Smoking Popes fame, came out in 2022. Every live show from them is a keeper!

Talked to one of you guys when I bought a shirt lol
Lafayette band Squirtgun formed in '93, signed to Lookout! and even placed single "Social" on the Mallrats soundtrack. Mass Giorgini later produced and mastered The Lillington's "Death By Television" at his Sonic Iguana studios, creating even more #punkrock history.

Fort Wayne IN submits Flamengo Nosebleed for your #punkrock approval. Their tightly focused three-chord #poppunk sound has been entertaining fans since 2007, wearing influences like the Lillingtons, The Damned and Screeching Weasel on their sleeves.

So many of my favorirlte bands were the ones who played first, so I missed the headliner because I was in the merch line for an hour and then hitched with the band to Waffle House so I could interview them! #punkrock
The Remote Controls ... #Indianapolis #PunkRock, so good they get to open for #screechingweasel at #Reggies in Chicago ... I could not get a ticket to see them in front of 400 so caught them at Indy's State Street Pub in front of a packed house of 100! #musicsky #livemusic #musicislife
#Indianapolis local legends The Run Up doing their thing at State Street Pub .... #punkrock #livemusic #musicsky If I get too old for live music, please euthanize me. I have spent more than 25 years exposing bands like them and I won't stop. #MusicIsLife
Title of my #punkrock autobiography: "Too Old to Skank, but Too Young to Die"
ALWAYS grab the touring band's music after the set ... they need money for gas!
Alex Kasznel and the Board of Directors, from #Cincinnati ... #poppunk #powerpop catch 'em when they visit YOUR town! Live at #StateStreetPub in #Indianapolis
#PantyLine leads the charge as a voice for LGBTQ representation in the Indiana scene. Buffy was mentored by Gary Floyd of the Dicks, her music speaking truth to power, inspiring others to join the fight. Punk is political and should always punch up. This music does.
