    about me
    I come from Indianapolis and Bloomington, IN, and I'm here to represent. Several of the bands I've submitted hail from there or have some sort of Indiana connection. Secretly Canadian and Smokey Lung are my favorite labels from Bloomington, to name a couple. I'll also be submitting quite a few San Francisco bay area bands since that's where I now live.

    Check out Musical Family Tree for many more awesome MP3s from Indiana-related bands!
