Zimdiana - Demo 2013 (November 2013) [West Lafayette, IN]

We have a world music band with marimbas here. Figured I'd post something quite different than usual. Enjoy!

Derek & Brandon Fietcher - Dinosaurs (September 2022) [Bluffton, IN]

Distinguished composers Derek and Brandon Fietcher are back with this gem. It would make a brilliant soundtrack for The Isle or any other dino game. Serves as great background music too.

Definitely check this album out!

São Salvador - Rio (March 2022) [West Lafayette, IN]

This trio has members spanning three continents, including an American, Brazilian, and the third member is from the Netherlands. The Bandcamp page summarizes this album well:

"Made with ❤️, angry shoegaze guitars and failed bossa nova attempts."

new.(consume) - 4 track EP (2005)

Here's a 4 track EP from the Williamsport & Attica, IN area. It could probably use  remastering, but it's not bad for a home recorded, local metal band recording from the mid-2000s.
