Joyful Noise Recordings

we are purveyors of interesting media for a variety of artistically-honest, exploratory and often haphazard musicians. we're not your standard noise or experimental label; nor are we interested in typical indie rock. we do however love when these two sides of the spectrum intersect in interesting ways. and we gravitate towards artists who, in one way or another, bridge this gap between pop and noise. since our first release in 2003 the label has grown a diverse roster of artists including: kishi bashi, richard edwards (of margot & the nuclear so and so's), surfer blood, half japanese, joan of arc, tall tall trees, yonatan gat, sleep party people, david yow, sebadoh, reptar, and many others. we have also released a slew of limited specialty releases from bands like melvins, dinosaur jr., of montreal, daniel johnston, and deerhoof. we are based in the great city of indianapolis, indiana, where we operate our independent label.
