Like many influential grassroots bands before them, Indorphine began in the garage of lead singer Jimmy Grant as he, and high school friend and drummer Everett Sailor, annoyed their Kissimmee neighbors with their loud and abstract music.
Indorphine met Adam Phillips, another New Yorker and guitar virtuoso, when their respective bands played a benefit show for the late Chuck Schuldiner.
After Dan Stewart was relieved of his duties due to private reasons, bassist and vocalist, and Indiana native, Tanner Keegan took a chance leaving the Orlando band Milka to explore his options with the experimental Indorphine; completing their classic lineup.
Their sound evolved from the adolescence of their debut album to that of a more matured band who'd found their voice; oddball metal injected with sarcastic, and sometimes self deprecating, comedy.
Record labels began taking notice of the industry buzz about the band, and Indorphine was placed on stage in front of A&R reps in New York, Atlanta, Austin, and Los Angeles.
Indorphine was encouraged to utilize all of their off kilter ideas while making this album, and incorporated sounds and instruments such as a pool hose with a microphone in one end, a chattering penguin pen, violin, cello, and a piece of rivetted sheet metal into the recording's many sonic layers.
After shooting and releasing a music video for the song Spaghetti, they began an extensive touring cycle with bands such as Shinedown, Bobaflex, The Accident Experiment, Psychostick, Invitro, etc.
Indorphine also began playing at landmark venues such as CBGB, The Whiskey, The Roxy, Key Club, House of Blues, and Hard Rock Live during their many tours promoting the Glowsticks album, and also performed at SXSW in Austin, Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta, and large scale festivals such as Earthday Birthday.
At the end of their winter 2007 tour, guitarist Adam Phillips decided it was time to part ways with the band and explore other aspects of life and music.
West Palm Beach native Chris Coleman stepped into the position of drummer and the band began touring again with the new lineup; a four piece.
Jimmy, along with Tanner Keegan and Everett Sailor, had been working on a concept album entitled Cowboy Maloney's Electric City vs.
In 2017, Jimmy Grant and Everett Sailor began writing new material for a brand new project entitled Dr. Awesomeballs and the Compendium of Historical Importantness.
After wrapping up the mixing and mastering of F.F.A.T.O.K.C, Tanner Keegan made the decision to step away from Indorphine for at least a year due to his own extensive recording and touring cycle with Tremonti.
There are also official guitar playthrough videos for all three singles available on the band's YouTube channel, as well as a three part "behind the scenes" documentary which brings the viewer along into the process of writing and recording the album.
