Containing seventeen indie, experimental, and hardcore artists from Indiana's past, Defunct Indiana compiles some of the best music from all Indiana based, now-defunct bands. This disc is a glimpse at Indiana's fairly immediate musical past - from 1995 to 2006. And this eleven year period 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 even Joyful Noise's own Melk the g6-49.
