We are a harmlessly beautiful movement that loves none but fakes it pretty well anyway. We sound like swiftness, youth, and volume. Quiet youth make the loudest future.
The Founders base ourselves simultaneously in Bloomington and in Indianapolis (in short, where we live). Our blend of different musical styles, backgrounds, musical tastes creates a sound both recognizable and original.
We want to make music that makes musicians.

Rolling guitar riffs, pounding bass notes and clashing symbols come together to produce a funk-infused ’70s-rock sound in “Canker,” from Bloomington-based band The Founders’ debut album Exile in Charon. Most impressive are the guitar solos, which are some of the most intricate I’ve heard in contemporary music.
--Megan Clayton, "Sidetracked," IDS Weekend
They're beautiful people who make beautiful music.

Sixties and Seventies rock you are not.

Also performing will be THE MADEIRA and Frankie Camaro’s ATOMIC BOMBAY.

what you just said completely excuses you from missing my show. you gotta have those drunken buckley music nights every now and then. also, is "naughty monarch" a venture brothers reference?
