Index Case is a nu metal music group, hailing from Indianola, Iowa.
History
Index Case formed in 1998, when guitarist Josh Parker and drummer Jordan Spence began writing music in Spence's basement. Vocalist Joe Ansley joined later. The band purchased recording equipment and began recording Birth. Index Case started booking shows in Des Moines and gradually built a following. Soon, they added Korey Birkenholtz on bass. The band recorded two more independent albums, Glass and The Weak and the Wounded, before finally signing a major label deal with Elektra/No Name Records.
They traveled to California to record their album The L. Soon after the album's completion, No Name Music dissolved, leaving Index Case without a label. Also at that time, bassist Korey Birkenholtz left the band for personal reasons. Bassist Nick Borror was recruited as his replacement.
Index Case subsequently joined Mortal Music, run by Tim King of SOiL. Using recordings from The L, their self-titled Index Case album was released on September 27, 2005. The band embarked on a tour for the album, and eventually founding member Jordan Spence had to leave the band. Index Case selected Ryan Berrier (formerly of Destrophy) as his replacement. However, after two years, they parted ways with him as well. Josh Ickowitz joined as the new drummer, remaining until his departure in 2019, when he was replaced by Diego Curry.
Index Case also appeared on the soundtrack of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the UFC UFC: Ultimate Beat Downs, Vol. 1 compilation. An excerpt of their song "The L" was used in the first trailer for the controversial[citation needed] documentary A Clown Short of Destiny. At this time, the film has not been released to the public.
On June 12, 2010, they released their fifth and highly anticipated studio album augusTagein.
In April 2016, news about an upcoming EP surfaced through various social media. In May, it was revealed that the new EP, titled Ocean, would be released online, with a show scheduled at Lefty's Club in Des Moines on May 21. The EP features four new tracks, including the lead single Ocean[1] and Silver.[2]
