Indianapolis “Art Rock” Band Midwest Contraband Releases Killer 4th Album By: Amy Foxworthy -- Sunday, October 6, 2019Midwest Contraband is not the hottest girl at the party, or the popular “cool guy” in the letter jacket.

Album Review: IAMLION's Vessel By: Kelly Fox -- Thursday, July 16, 2015I have to admit, I was nervous about doing a review for IAMLION’s new EP, “Vessel,” simply because of the stylization of the name.

Album Review: Chase Coy's Youth By: Kelly Fox -- Monday, June 29, 2015Chase Coy is described as indie-folk, a genre I am familiar with but not deeply invested in.

Album Review: Steve Boller -- You Can Always Try By: Brandon Cannon -- Tuesday, September 3, 2013Steve Boller has great melody and spot-on timing, both of which he puts to good use in an EP set of pop tunes called “You Can Always Try” (iTunes | Bandcamp), most of which sounds like lost radio hits from a variety of decades. The cool thing is that... (Read Full Article) |
A Little Voodoo, Some Bearded Women, and No ShameBy: Brandon Cannon -- Monday, April 22, 2013Artist Spotlight Indy rockers, Voodoo Sunshine, feels and sounds like my favorite type of rock show.

Solicitations and Submissions
Solicitations for blog posts can be made by sending and email to "blog -at- indyintune -dot- com" and should follow these guidelines:
- Local (Indianapolis-based) acts always have priority.
- Visisting acts playing a bill with one or more local acts are also considered.
- We generally don't like to repeat content found on other sites. If your request already has a lot of coverage on other sites, it will be considered low-priority unless you can give us an exclusive angle.
- For obvious reasons, we don't do solicited album reviews, though we do appreciate you letting us know when you have a new release. Consider coming in and talking about the album yourself live on the air or a podcast.
- All of our staff writers are unpaid enthusiasts. All requests for blog posts are entirely at their descretion.
- As such, they generally need a lot of lead-time to put something out -- we're talking weeks of lead time, not hours.
- That said, individual authors have full authority to ignore the following guidelines and write whatever they want ... if you can convince them to.
- In addition, feel free to write your own post and submit it for posting as a "guest blogger." Those almost always get accepted.
- Finally, regional or national acts submitting without meeting the above guidelines are generally ignored. We're not trying to be dicks, but if you send us a generic form-letter with your press release, and it doesn't even remotely concern a local artist or event, then you're not part of our core focus.
