Index Case Announces Release Date

Slipknot may not have the prestigious title of "that band from Iowa" for much longer. Ten minutes from Des Moines hails the hard-rocking quartet known as Index Case; a band which the press has often applauded for upstaging many of the national acts it's opened for. A large, devoted following and an intense live show have helped propel the band to mainstage performances at some of the area's larger music festivals. Having kept track of the band since about 1999, I am definitely excited for them as they have just announced the release date for their major label debut, due out in late September.

Index Case, who is the first signing to Tim King (SOiL) and Rob Such's (Twelfth Gate) Mortal Music/ Platform/ Fontana/ Universal Records, will be shooting their debut music video with director Chad Calek (Bleeding Through, Taking Back Sunday, Curt Smith of Tears For Fears) on August 6th, 2005, in the band's hometown of Indianola, Iowa. The video will be for the single "Deserver", which appears on Index Case's self-titled Mortal Music/Platform/Fontana/Universal debut release, due to hit the shelves nationwide on Sept 27th, 2005.
