5 Local Bands To Check Out In Indianapolis

Tumblr

Local music is super important. It's always a good thing if you are an avid music fan to get involved and acquainted with local music. Especially if you love concerts, because odds are that your local bands will be putting on a lot of local shows either for free or very cheap prices!

It's also just important to support these artists because odds are they're smaller bands that are just trying to get exposure and appreciate all the attention they can get! In the Indianapolis area there are tons of local bands, but here are just of a few of the top bands I encourage you to listen to!

1. Margot & The Nuclear So and So's

First off how fantastic is this band name!? Margot & The Nuclear So and So's are an Indie Rock/Folk band based right here in Indianapolis, Indiana. The band has been around since 2004 and is most known for their single "Broad Ripple is burning". If you like bands like the Lumineers, Blind Pilot, or The Avett Brothers, this band is definitely for you!

2. Saint Aubin

Saint Aubin is a relatively new band based also in Indianapolis, IN. They have been described as "a soulful collision of alt-rock, and jazzy folk music" by The Anchored Soul Blog. If you enjoy bands such as Fleet Foxes, Bright eyes, or Neutral Milk Hotel, you would most likely enjoy this band as well!

3. Mike Adams at His Honest Weight

This band is actually based in Bloomington, Indiana. However, their sound and energy is still fantastic. The band was created in 2011. The lead singer of the group Mike Adams is known for his humor, especially on stage! The band is most known for there song "Be Free Live Well". I would say their music is also in the category of indie/alternative music. Check them out!

4. Landon Keller

Honestly he might be my favorite on the list. Landon Keller has a very Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson vibe to his music which is electrifying and undeniably catchy. The band has been around since 2007 yet still has little recognition which is sad to say the least. Definitely check this guy out.

5. Lily & Madeleine

Based in Indianapolis, this duo (of SISTERS how cool!?) on Spotify is described as "Specializing in ethereal, introspective indie folk in the vein artists like First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes (with just a touch of Taylor Swift)". These girls are adorable to say the least. Their voices are also undeniably beautiful. Definitely a band to check out. They are most know for their song "Come To Me".

Hope these bands help you to begin discover some local music! Happy Listening!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
