Founded in 1997 by legendary Montreal indie-rockers GrimSkunk, Indica Records was started with $2000; a grassroots, do-it-yourself approach; and an overriding belief in "artist first" vision.

Armed with the mandate of supporting independent artists, Indica has since grown by leaps and bounds and expanded its repertoire to encompass a variety of genres beyond the rock/punk/alternative music on which the label was founded, including folk, pop, indie, world and electronica.

Following 3 successful and inspiring trips to Australia, Indica licenced local icons The Cat Empire and John Butler Trio for Canada and felt such a natural and strong connection between the 2 countries, music and culture, that it was decided to launch a Indica in Australia.

Indica Australia has put together a great team of australian partners, to form a full service music label and company dedicated to develop emerging Australian talent at home and abroad and bring in some of the world's best new international talent into Australia.

The first 2 artists to be released in 2012 are Merimbula, Australia's own Kim Churchill and Montreal indie-folk trio Half Moon Run. The company's vision for this australian division remains the same. We find artists with a great attitude, songwriting and originality. What we put out has to be special, genuine, and capable of moving people. Our vision is simple: "we are fans first".
