Indiana came into being by the random meeting of Barney and Dom at Keith Allens mobile karaoke at Glastonbury Festival – Barney had been impressively belting out songs a cappella; shortly after he joined the band. Indiana's sound is epic and melodious with quiet/loud dynamics - melodic indie meets post-rock. Big vocals, carefully crafted guitar melodies and a spectacular live sound.

Their time together has seen the band play for the BBC, national press, airplay on internet radio in UK and Australia, college radio in the US, festival appearances including one for the O2 mobile network
