I love Indiana and bands and Indiana bands. I love Crossroads of America Records, this thump thump love like a good song, not a love song, but like a song that stretches and sighs until it ends, but lucky for me, for you, for us!, there's another song after that and another song after that and another song after that and on and on and on, and we can thank XRA Records. THANK YOU XRA RECORDS, for the years of good output, for the support of several of my friends, for the fun XRA Fests (always around my birthday!), for songs and songs and songs and songs that make me go GOLLY GOODNESS YES.
And guess wuzz?! Their entire catalog is available for streaming/purchase on bandcamp now. HOW COOL.
